Title: ES.A.11 – Law Restricting Mandatory Overtime for Nurses.
Date Issued: December 6, 2016.
Description: In 2010, legislative changes were made to RCW 49.28.130 that changed the definition of covered facilities that must comply with the mandatory nurses' overtime law to include facilities operated by the department of corrections, any governing unit housing inmates, and county of local jails that provide health care to inmates. We took down our old policy and began working with stakeholders to add the new language to reflect the law changes and to improve the original language to more closely reflect the requirements in the law.
