A09520 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A9520
 
SPONSOR: Joyner
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the establishment of obstetric hemorrhage protocols   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to adjust reporting requirements for hospi- tals in relation to obstetric hemorrhage protocols that they are required to develop pursuant to Chapter 662 of the Laws of 2019.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 would eliminate the requirement that hospitals submit their obstetric to the Department of Health (DOH) and would instead require hospitals to maintain and furnish their obstetric hemorrhage protocols to immediately, upon request. Section 2 establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 662 of the Laws of 2019 required hospitals to develop, imple- ment, and periodically update obstetric hemorrhage protocols. This amendment will have hospitals maintain these protocols for DOH for review, but eliminates the automatic requirement that the information be shared with DOH whenever a protocol is updated. This will reduce admin- istrative burdens for hospitals and DOH in maintaining these protocols.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Legislation.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2019, amending the public health law relating to the establishment of obstetric hemorrhage protocols, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4498-A and A. 6962-A, takes effect.

    23  fied by the department under [this paragraph] subdivision three of  this
    24  section  and  shall include a response plan providing for the triage and
