A smorgasbord of legislative initiatives on the Roundhouse Monday Menu.
Patient Safety at NM Hospitals, Autism Coverage Regardless of Age, Cannabis Revenue & Freedom Act, Public Private Partnerships, Lobbyist Reporting, Industrial Hemp and more on the Roundhouse Monday Menu.
A smorgasbord of legislative initiatives should provide for lively conversation and debate before various House and Senate Committees on Monday, February 27, 2017.
Some key items affecting workers and their families include the Patient Safe Staffing Act (HB 288) filed by half of the Trujillo House Caucus, Christine and Linda, both Democrats and strong supporters of issues important to working families. The bill would require that hospitals create staffing committees made of nurses who provide direct care to patients which in turn would determine staffing levels instead of managers who are not necessarily involved in direct care of patients.
