New York S08724 mandates security at all publicly accessible entrances of general hospitals.

New York S08724 amends the public health law to require every general hospital to ensure security at all publicly accessible entrances. This can be achieved by having either one off-duty law enforcement officer or trained security personnel present at all times at each entrance, or by installing locking doors at each entrance. Additionally, every general hospital must provide wearable employee panic buttons or alert devices that can immediately notify on-site security personnel or law enforcement in the event of a dangerous situation or emergency.
