Leo Perez-Ferrer, AB2975: Will I be safe at work?

June 5, 2024

"This morning, thousands of California healthcare workers began their shifts with a terrifying question: ‘Will I be safe at work today?’ The Assembly’s vote to pass the Secure Hospitals for All bill (AB 2975) is an important step toward allaying those fears."

"The Assembly’s vote to pass the Secure Hospitals for All bill (AB 2975) is an important step toward allaying those fears. Far too many healthcare workers face the threat of workplace violence involving weapons daily, which makes it hard to focus on providing compassionate care. This legislation will change that, by reducing the number of weapons that enter our facilities and by limiting potential encounters healthcare workers have with weapons.”
