The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) established criteria for the transfer or discharge of patients, and is commonly referred to as the "antidumping act." It requires emergency departments to provide medical treatment to anyone who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay or legal status. It also imposes restrictions on the transfer or discharge of unstable patients, to ensure that hospitals are not simply passing off difficult cases to other facilities.
