Bill overview
This bill restricts hospitals in Michigan from requiring registered professional nurses to work more than their scheduled hours or be called in on-call for extended periods. It mandates that nurses receive 8 consecutive hours off-duty after working 12 or more hours, with exceptions for declared states of emergency, patient care procedures, and specific public health emergencies. The bill also protects nurses from disciplinary action if they refuse assignments that would exceed these limits and requires hospitals to post notices informing nurses of the new regulations.
