The year is almost over, so what happened with several legislative issues affecting the industry during 2022?

The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the association’s legal team and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. In the latest installment, ASA vice president of government relations Toby Malara provides a quick “year in review” of such issues as regulation of nurse staffing services, use of artificial intelligence, pay disclosure, and predictive scheduling. He also discusses important legislative activity on the horizon and how to get involved.
