Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the term “acute care facilities” means any facility that provides emergency care services or urgent care services, as defined under section 405.400 of title 42 of the United States code of federal regulations.

b. The department of health and mental hygiene shall conduct an outreach campaign to inform city residents about the types of acute care facilities in the city, and the differences between such acute care facilities. Such outreach campaign shall include, but not be limited to, schools and senior centers.

§ 2. This local law takes effect 120 days after it becomes law, except that the commissioner may take such actions as are necessary to implement this local law, including the promulgation of rules, before such date, and is deemed repealed two years after it becomes law.
