Chapter 10A. Health-Care Associated Infections Disclosure Act
§ 1007A. Reports by other health-care facilities.

Only with the concurrence of the Advisory Committee, and not until such time that the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issue final federal regulations requiring such, and after careful evaluation of the economic and public health impact, the Department may through regulation require the reporting of health-care associated infections from health-care facilities other than hospitals and correctional facilities.
