The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6560, aims to amend title 20 of the general statutes to enhance and simplify 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 duration of two years. This initiative is designed to support and encourage the integration of internationally trained health care professionals into the local workforce, thereby addressing potential shortages in the health care sector.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new provisions that facilitate the streamlined processes for certification and licensure. By doing so, it seeks to create a more efficient pathway for qualified health care providers to enter the state’s health care system, ultimately benefiting both the providers and the communities they serve.
