House

This bill would prohibit Michigan hospitals from requiring registered nurses to work beyond their scheduled shifts, except during declared emergencies, mass casualty incidents, ongoing patient care procedures where leaving could harm a patient, or short-term staffing gaps due to unexpected absences. Nurses working 12 or more consecutive hours must receive at least 8 hours off before their next shift. Hospitals cannot retaliate against nurses for refusing extra overtime and must post information about these rights and how to file complaints.
