Join Assemblymember Mike Gipson to announce AB 2975 - "Secure Hospitals for All." The bill, authored by Asm. Gipson, aims to reduce the threat of hospital violence invovling weapons by bolstering security and ending certain unsafe practices.
The bill requires all hospitals to place metal detectors at key public entrances, staffed by trained security officers at all times. It mandates the use of trained security officers to search patients belongings for dangerous contraband—not healthcare workers who must focus on providing compassionate care.
