Bill > HB0380

This bill requires hospitals in Utah to establish and maintain a workplace violence incident reporting system by November 1, 2026, to record all voluntarily reported incidents by employees, prohibiting retaliation against those who report or participate in investigations, and mandates that hospitals analyze this data, keep records for at least two years, and report collected data quarterly to their chief medical and nursing officers, while also requiring an annual report to the department on the number of incidents. The bill defines "hospital" to include general acute and specialty hospitals and "workplace violence" as defined in another section of law, and it also amends a repeal date related to assault or threat of violence against health facility employees, extending it to January 1, 2027, and the bill takes effect on May 6, 2026.
