title: For safety's sake, bill aims to eliminate overtime.
abstract: House Bill 78 was introduced in the Ohio state legislature with the support of Rep. Ann Womer Benjamin (R-District 75) and of the Ohio Nurses Association (ONA). 'This is not the first attempt to address staffing by any means, but it is the first comprehensive bill,' says Peggy Noble, RN, government affairs specialist for the ONA. It calls for periodic review of staffing policies and no overtime for nurses.
