Coordination of Signage Requirements Imposed by State Agencies

(a)

The department is authorized to review current and proposed state rules, including department rules and rules of other state agencies, that mandate that a hospital place or post a notice, poster, or sign in a conspicuous place or in an area of high public traffic, concerning the rights of patients or others or the responsibilities of the hospital, which is directed at patients, patients’ families, or others.

eliminate the duplication of information;

reduce the potential for confusion to patients, patients’ families, and others; and

(3)

reduce the administrative burden of compliance on hospitals.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other law, this section applies to all notices, posters, or signs described in Subsection (a).
