A 1513 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to safe staffing for public employees of institutional settings

This bill sets maximum overtime limits for public employees working in specific institutional settings, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, and developmental disability care facilities. It prohibits requiring staff to work more than 17 hours in any 24-hour period (with 8 consecutive hours off afterward), 80 hours in 14 consecutive days, or seven straight days without at least 24 hours off, except during declared emergencies or with 24 hours' notice to unions. Facilities must also submit quarterly public reports detailing staffing levels, resignations, safety incidents, and recruitment efforts. The law aims to improve staff safety and resident care by preventing excessive workloads, without overriding existing employee rights or collective bargaining agreements.
