AI Summary

  • Health practitioners in medical facilities must immediately report to law enforcement when patients disclose they are seeking treatment due to being victims of assaultive or abusive conduct

  • Expands existing reporting requirements that previously applied only to patients with physical injuries from firearms or assault; now includes verbal disclosures of victimization

  • Reports must be made by telephone immediately or as soon as practicable, followed by a written report on a standard form sent to local law enforcement within two working days

  • Maintains list of crimes constituting "assaultive or abusive conduct" including murder, rape, child abuse, elder abuse, and other violent offenses

  • No state reimbursement is required for implementation costs as this constitutes a change in the definition of an existing crime under California law
