AI Summary

This bill requires primary care physicians, defined as physicians specializing in family practice, general pediatrics, primary care internal medicine, or primary care obstetrics and gynecology, to post a notice in a clearly visible location near their payment area. The notice, which will be designed by the commissioner of health in collaboration with the secretary of state, will provide information on how parents and guardians of infants and children can subscribe to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission's email subscription lists to receive product recall and safety news. The notice must be available in English and the six most frequently spoken languages in the state according to U.S. Census Bureau data, with the option to provide additional language versions based on the community served. The bill aims to improve consumer awareness of product safety information by leveraging primary care physicians' offices as a communication channel. The law will take effect 120 days after becoming official, with immediate authorization for health officials to develop necessary implementation rules and regulations.
