Relates to the maximum hours for home care aides

Summary

The bill caps a home care aide’s workday at twelve consecutive hours and bars any longer shift unless an unforeseeable emergency occurs and the aide gives explicit consent. It protects aides from retaliation for refusing extra hours and lets aides—or the state commissioner—bring civil actions against employers who violate the limits. The measure seeks to protect caregiver health and ensure safe staffing in home‑care settings.
