Scripps Backs Law Increasing Penalties For People Who Assault Health Care Workers | Paul Sisson

On Jan. 31, state Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez, D-Pomona, introduced Assembly Bill 329. The legislation mandates up to one year of jail time and up to $2,000 in fines for anyone who assaults or batters a health care worker inside a hospital. Current law extends those penalties only to doctors and nurses working outside hospitals in emergency situations.
Though the bill has not yet had its first independent state analysis, Scripps Health is already planning to testify on behalf of the legislation in Sacramento as it moves through the hearing process.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps’ chief executive officer, said Prehoden’s incident is just one example of a rising tide of violence in hospitals that requires action.
“We see violence escalating,” Van Gorder said. “I think we need to increase the penalties to protect our people.”
