Bill History
2010
HB 224 sponsor Rep. Sandstrom was notified that 2010 state budget crises preclude further consideration of the bill during the 2009-10 legislative session. We try again in 2011.
2009
The Bill is sponsored by Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, and titled: "Health Care Provider Abusive Work Environment Prohibition Act" or House Bill 224. It is the state's first-ever attempt at anti-bullying legislation for any Utah workplace.
It will provide protection only for employees working in the healthcare industry. Protected employees shall include anyone working for health care providers (state, county, city, town, school districts, or higher education institutions), including medical interns and residents. This is a national first-of-its-kind legislation.
