Bill overview
This bill, AB 960, amends California law to expand visitation rights for patients with disabilities, including those with cognitive impairments like dementia, at general acute care hospitals. It requires hospitals to allow family or friend caregivers to visit as needed, outside of standard visiting hours, unless doing so would endanger health or safety or disrupt hospital operations. The bill also allows hospitals to maintain reasonable visitation restrictions and mandates health and safety requirements for visitors.
