Legislature today The House Procedural and Redistricting Council will take up a series of bills aimed at reforming the state's elections system. The bills call for taking steps such as eliminating punch-card ballots. The plan, which would finalize an effort that started last year, includes doing away with the university system's Board of Regents. Staff reports The House bill, meanwhile, calls for requiring 2.9 hours next year. Both plans would cost tens of millions of dollars because they would force nursing homes to add staff.
Employee turnover is widespread in nursing homes.
Bodo said a state study last year found a 74 percent annual turnover rate in the industry, with the turnover rate for aides at 90 percent. He said he is worried the bill will end up focusing only on protecting nursing homes from lawsuits. But Maygarden and Senate President John McKay, R-Bradenton, left open the possibility that they can find additional money to improve care. Enter words describing a concept or keywords.
