EFFECT: Specifies that hospitals must report if compliance is less than 80 percent beginning July 1, 2025, rather than beginning in 2025. Modifies wording related to revised corrective plans of action being likely to produce a minimum of 80 percent compliance with nurse staffing assignments, rather than 80 percent compliance of nurse staffing assignments. Modifies language around the 80 percent compliance threshold for the meal and rest break provisions.
Changes cross references to limit certain L&I enforcement provisions to only RCW
49.28.140. Corrects cross references.
