SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Certified nursing facility education initiative. Repeals the expiration date of July 1, 2003, that would have sunsetted this program; makes some technical or clarifying amendments; and declares the records, reports, and communications of any staff member, employee, consultant, or other person, acting on behalf of the nonprofit organization that is contracted to conduct the nursing facility education initiative, to be privileged and not to be disclosed or obtained by legal discovery proceedings unless a circuit court, after a hearing and a showing of good cause arising from extraordinary circumstances, orders the disclosure. This declaration will not, however, provide any privilege for the records of the facilities with respect to any patient or any facts or information contained in the records or preclude or affect discovery of or production of evidence relating to the treatment of any patient by a health care provider. Technical amendments are also included.
