Requires hospitals to report exclusions on care and mandates public disclosure by the health commissioner.

This bill mandates that the New York State Department of Health collect annual lists of hospital rule-based exclusions from each general hospital. These exclusions, which are criteria or rules restricting certain types of care or patient categories, must be published on the department's website. The bill aims to increase transparency and ensure patients can access information about care availability in their area. It also prohibits the use of this information to deny care or discriminate, and ensures that compliance with the act does not limit hospitals' liability for exclusions.
