✦ Plain-Language Summary
This bill would require healthcare facilities to provide video communication devices to patients when visitor access is limited or restricted. The devices would help patients stay connected with their families and loved ones during times when in-person visits are not allowed. This ensures patients can maintain important relationships and emotional support even when physical visits are restricted due to health emergencies or other circumstances.
