The bill establishes the Minnesota Health Care Workforce Advisory Council, which aims to address the state's health care workforce challenges by providing research, data analysis, and policy recommendations. The council will consist of 16 members, including legislative representatives, state officials, and appointees with relevant expertise. It will focus on various aspects of the health care workforce, such as supply, demand, distribution, and diversity, while also ensuring geographic representation. The council is tasked with convening stakeholders, advising on workforce initiatives, and developing actionable recommendations to improve health care workforce conditions in Minnesota.

Additionally, the council is required to create a comprehensive health care workforce plan every five years, starting with a submission due by January 15, 2027. This plan will assess current workforce conditions, project future needs, identify funding sources, and outline action plans to meet projected demands. The council's meetings will be subject to open meeting laws, and it is set to expire on January 1, 2029.
