N.C. Senate 'no patient left behind' legislation added to Ho

A state House bill has been amended this week in an attempt to move forward bipartisan Senate legislation that would secure visitation for hospital patients and long-term care residents during a state public-health emergency.
Senate Bill 191, titled “The No Patient Left Alone Act,” cleared the Senate by a 40-9 vote May 6. Among its primary sponsors is Sen. Joyce Krawiec, R-Forsyth.
That bill has sat in the House Rules and Operations committee since May 11.
On Wednesday, the Senate Health Care committee inserted language from SB191 into House Bill 351. The committee approved the insertion Thursday, sending it to Senate Judiciary committee.
The initial version of HB391, titled “Clifford’s Law,” would direct the state’s health secretary to establish visitation protocols for long-term care and Hospice care facilities during declared disasters and emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
