In this episode of What’s the Tea in L&E, Healthcare Regulatory and Compliance attorney Lindsey Brock joins host Leah Stiegler to unpack a new Virginia law that went into effect on July 1, 2025, introducing updated reporting requirements for hospitals and other healthcare institutions regarding workplace violence. While the discussion pertains to Virginia Code Section 31.1-127 as newly amended, many states have similar laws or common law negligence claims related to workplace violence.
