Bill > HB05371

This bill requires health care facilities and practice locations to conduct a comprehensive inventory of their medical diagnostic equipment, specifically focusing on identifying which equipment meets accessibility standards for persons with disabilities and which does not. The facilities must create a detailed documentation that includes not only a list of their equipment's accessibility status, but also develop an action plan to address any gaps or deficiencies in equipment accessibility. Importantly, these facilities must submit this inventory and action plan to the Commissioner of Public Health by July 1, 2025. The goal of this legislation appears to be improving healthcare accessibility for individuals with disabilities by ensuring that medical facilities are aware of and actively working to address potential barriers in their diagnostic equipment. By mandating this inventory and planning process, the bill aims to promote more inclusive healthcare environments and services for patients with disabilities.
