California AB92, known as Dianne’s Law, ensures patient visitation rights in health facilities.

California AB92, known as Dianne’s Law, amends the Health and Safety Code to ensure patients have visitation rights in health facilities. It mandates that facilities allow visits from a patient’s spouse, domestic partner, children, parents, grandchildren, grandparents, and the spouse or domestic partner of the patient’s parent or child, unless the patient objects or the facility imposes restrictions. The law also ensures that in-person visitation is not prohibited in end-of-life situations unless the patient objects.
