Bill > A09355

This bill amends the New York public health law to require hospitals to report all cases of poisoning that either occur within the hospital or are presented to the hospital to both the department of health and the regional poison control center. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of the public health law by inserting language that mandates reporting of these poisoning cases, which will help improve tracking and potentially prevent future incidents by providing more comprehensive data to health authorities. The reporting requirement appears to be aimed at enhancing public health surveillance and allowing poison control centers to better monitor and respond to poisoning incidents. The bill will take effect 90 days after it becomes law, giving hospitals time to implement the new reporting procedures.
