The sponsor's argument

Why Patricia Fahy says this is needed

Emergency rooms are dangerous places to work. According to the New York Times, 55% of ER physicians and 70% of ER nurses have been physically assaulted, most often by patients, in the workplace. One third of such assaults lead to physical injury. When the police are called to respond to an assault in an emergency room, they generally ask the victim to come to the police station for an interview after work. This discourages crime reporting since many health care workers, who have stressful jobs with long hours, decide not to follow up if an assault did not result in a serious injury. This bill would allow the victim to choose to be interviewed by the police at work rather than having to make a separate trip to the police station to report the crime against them.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
