The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6560, aims to amend title 20 of the general statutes to enhance the certification and licensure processes for health care providers who have received their training in other countries. The bill specifically targets those providers who agree to practice in the state for a minimum of two years, thereby encouraging the integration of international health care professionals into the local workforce.

The primary focus of this legislation is to streamline the existing processes, making it easier for qualified foreign-trained health care providers to obtain the necessary certifications and licenses to practice in the state. This initiative is intended to support and facilitate the entry of these professionals into the health care system, ultimately addressing potential shortages and improving access to care for residents.
