- General hospitals and nursing homes will be required to designate and train staff to serve as notaries and provide this service
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been referred to the Health Committee for further consideration. If passed, the new requirements would likely take effect within a specified timeframe, such as 6-12 months, to allow facilities time to implement the necessary changes.
