It defines "compassionate care visit" broadly to include various forms of support and outlines specific situations where facilities may limit visitors. The bill also establishes a civil penalty of $1,000 per day for violations and provides immunity for facilities complying with its provisions, except in cases of recklessness or willful misconduct.
