Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to including certified nursing assistants in provisions of law relating to restrictions on consecutive hours of work
AI Summary
This bill amends the Labor Law to include certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in the provisions relating to restrictions on consecutive hours of work. Specifically, it defines a "certified nursing assistant" as a person who has successfully completed a nurse aide training and/or competency evaluation program administered by the Department of Health and/or is currently listed in the nurse aide registry. This change ensures that CNAs, in addition to registered professional nurses and licensed practical nurses, are subject to the same restrictions on the number of consecutive hours they can work, which helps to promote patient safety and worker well-being.
