AI Summary
-
County commissioners may establish and maintain an electronic database containing information about mass casualty incident victims to coordinate reunification, identification, and long-term support services
-
Hospitals and independent emergency medical care centers must report victim information (name, date of birth, identifying physical characteristics) to the database within 24 hours of receiving a mass casualty victim, and must ask victims before discharge if they want long-term support services
-
All database information is confidential and must comply with HIPAA; victim data must be deleted after all victims are identified and reunified, unless the victim provides written authorization to remain for long-term support services
-
Counties and their officers, employees, and agents are immune from civil liability for database-related acts unless they involve willful misconduct, gross negligence, or bad faith; hospitals and emergency centers are similarly immune for good-faith reports
-
Hospitals and emergency centers that fail to comply with the reporting requirements face no penalties under state medical facility licensing laws
