Maddy summaryThis bill creates a $250 fine for anyone who interferes with the transport of a vehicle after a repossession is complete. It directly affects individuals who obstruct repossessors (like tow truck drivers) once they've legally taken control of a vehicle. The key provision defines "repossession complete" as when the repossessor gains entry, connects the vehicle to a tow, moves it, or takes control, and prohibits interference during transport to a storage facility, auction, or dealer. The law requires repossession notices to police and vehicle offices within 24 hours but focuses on penalizing interference after repossession is finalized.

Maddy summaryThis bill limits health care workers, including nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel, to their regularly scheduled work hours without mandatory overtime. Exceptions allow longer shifts only during declared emergencies (like natural disasters or public health crises), federal/state emergency declarations, or when completing an ongoing medical/surgical procedure. It specifically excludes doctors, residents, and security staff from this definition. The law aims to protect patient safety by preventing excessive staff fatigue through concrete scheduling limits. Employers cannot use on-call time to bypass these restrictions.
