AI Summary

This bill amends the Public Health Code to prohibit hospitals from requiring registered professional nurses to work more than their regularly scheduled hours, except in certain circumstances such as unforeseen emergencies or if the nurse voluntarily accepts the additional work. The bill also requires hospitals to provide 8 consecutive hours of off-duty time for nurses who work 12 or more consecutive hours. Additionally, the bill prohibits hospitals from discharging, disciplining, or discriminating against nurses who refuse to work beyond their scheduled hours, and requires hospitals to post notices informing nurses of these new protections. Hospitals that violate these provisions are subject to administrative fines and sanctions.
