AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 AND 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO FACILITIES WHERE INVASIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED.

This bill allows for a person’s spouse to file a complaint concerning unsafe or unsanitary conditions at facilities where invasive medical procedures are performed. The Bill gives the Department of Health and Social Services the authority to require accreditation for medical facilities that perform invasive medical procedures. It also gives DHSS the authority to promulgate regulations for accreditation. The Bill requires that DHSS work with stakeholders in the development of the regulations and it outlines who those stakeholders should be. Finally, the Bill prohibits individuals licensed under Chapters 5, 11 and 17 of Title 24 from working in any facility where invasive medical procedures are performed unless the facility is licensed or accredited.
