H.R. 5179 has been sent to the House committee on Education and Welfare. This legislation will in effect prevent Administration from utilizing MOT as a staffing tool. This bill will be an amendment to the Fair Labor and Standards Act and will prevent any licensed healthcare professional form being forced to work greater than 8hrs per day or 80 hours in a 14 day period. To prevent this legislation form dying in committee, please flood your representative with email, phone calls and letters in support of H.R. 5179. Get any healthcare consumer to write and support this important legislation to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our patients and ourselves.
