More detail
The four departments would report information about staffing, overtime, registry contracts, and missed staffing minimums. The duty would cover the Departments of Corrections and Rehabilitation and Veterans Affairs, and the state departments of Developmental Services and State Hospitals, for their state-run health facilities.
