Ohio SB344 mandates health care facilities to use reusable infection prevention textiles for patient safety.

Ohio SB344 requires health care facilities to use reusable infection prevention textiles, such as gowns and bed linens, to limit the transfer of microorganisms. At least 50% of these textiles must be reusable, processed by a certified facility, and rotated regularly. The bill defines "infection prevention textile" and exempts facilities from the requirement if they cannot meet it due to supply chain disruptions.
