Worker misclassification; debarment procedures. Revises the procedure under which a contractor may be debarred from public contracts for misclassification of workers. The bill requires the Department of Taxation to notify an employer of a determination that the employer failed to properly classify an individual and allows the employer to apply for judicial or administrative review. Upon a subsequent violation, and once the opportunity for appeals has been exhausted, the Department is required to provide notice to all public bodies that they shall not award a contract to firms associated with the offending employer for specified periods. Under current law, notice to all public bodies is required after the first violation determined by the Department, and debarment is required without reference to the timing of appeals.

Patient visitation; visitation from clergy members. Requires hospitals, nursing homes, and certified nursing facilities to allow patients to receive visits from clergy members during a declared public health emergency related to a communicable disease of public health threat, unless the hospital, nursing home, or certified nursing facility demonstrates that it is unable to reasonably accommodate the visits without undue hardship on the facility. Under the bill, the hospital, nursing home, or certified nursing facility may restrict visits of a clergy member who fails a health screening measure or tests positive for a communicable disease of public health threat. If the hospital, nursing home, or certified nursing facility establishes a protocol restricting the total number of individuals permitted to visit a patient, clergy members shall not be counted toward that total number. The bill provides immunity for hospitals, nursing homes, and certified nursing facilities and their employees and contractors from liability for injury or death due to exposure to a communicable disease of public health threat resulting from or related to such visitation, except in limited circumstances.
