What Maryland law requires

  • Nurse staffing committee or plan (in effect from 2026)

    Maryland's Safe Staffing Act of 2026 requires each licensed hospital to establish a clinical staffing committee and implement a clinical staffing plan.

    “EACH HOSPITAL LICENSED UNDER THIS TITLE SHALL ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A CLINICAL STAFFING COMMITTEE” Md. Code, Health-General §§ 19-393 to 19-397 (Chapter 235 of 2026, SB 411) (source: Md. Code, Health-General §§ 19-393 to 19-397 (Chapter 235 of 2026, SB 411))

  • Limits on mandatory overtime

    Employers may not require nurses to work beyond scheduled hours, except in a narrow unforeseeable emergency, for on-call rotation or in community-based care (covers licensed practical nurses and registered nurses).

    “an employer may not require a nurse to work more than the regularly scheduled hours according to the predetermined work schedule” Md. Code, Lab. & Empl. § 3-421 (source: Md. Code, Lab. & Empl. § 3-421)

From Maryland's own code or health department, read 9 Nov 2026. Each hospital's own postings state the ratio of its unit, and every state's law is on the ratio hub.
