BY REPRESENTATIVE DUSTIN MILLER
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To continue and provide with respect to the Healthcare Workplace Violence Task Force
created by House Concurrent Resolution No. 121 of the 2021 Regular Session of the
Legislature.
WHEREAS, through House Concurrent Resolution No. 121 of the 2021 Regular
Session (HCR 121), the legislature formed a task force to identify and study policy options
and practices through which the problem of workplace violence in healthcare settings can
be properly addressed, mitigated, and, wherever possible, prevented; and
WHEREAS, the task force is composed of members who, individually and
collectively, possess significant expertise in health services delivery, public health policy,
and public safety; and
WHEREAS, the task force has performed valuable work and has faithfully carried
out the duties prescribed in HCR 121; and
WHEREAS, many of the findings and recommendations that the task force submitted
to the legislature in response to HCR 121 are embodied in House Bill No. 312 of this 2022
Regular Session (HB 312); and
WHEREAS, regardless of whether the reforms proposed in HB 312 are enacted into
law, this state will benefit significantly from a continuation of efforts by the task force to
advance policies and promote practices to ensure that the healthcare workers of our state,
who are indispensable to the well-being of our families and communities, can practice their
professions in the quality work environments they deserve and without fear for their personal
safety.
