Introduced by: Jeannemarie Devolites | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Health; tuberculosis control. Expands the current provisions for the control of tuberculosis to require each physician or person in charge of a medical facility or correctional facility to report active cases of tuberculosis to the local director of health and develop a plan of treatment. Currently, tuberculosis is designated as a reportable disease by the Board of Health and is reported to the Department of Health. The plan of treatment may be requested by the local health director and will be subject to the approval of the local health director. The Commissioner of Health is authorized to settle disagreements on the plan of treatment according to statewide standards. All persons in charge of an inpatient facility or a correctional institution or jail will be required to submit the treatment plan to the local health director and to encourage the patient to comply with the treatment plan. If the person does not comply, the person in charge of the facility or correctional institution or jail, may request additional actions of the Commissioner of Health under existing law, including isolation. Laboratories doing testing on samples must also report positive cases of active tuberculosis to the state.
