Illinois SB3383 amends the Hospital Licensing Act to redefine pathogens of epidemiological concern and mandate interventions to prevent their spread.
Illinois SB3383 amends the Hospital Licensing Act to redefine "pathogens of epidemiological concern" as infectious agents with specific characteristics, including transmission propensity, antimicrobial resistance, and association with serious clinical disease. The bill requires hospitals to develop and implement comprehensive interventions to prevent and control these pathogens, considering guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other scientific bodies. Hospitals must also report patients carrying these pathogens to the U.S.
