This bill mandates the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, in collaboration with the Department of Health and healthcare stakeholders, to create a program aimed at identifying and recruiting unemployed individuals for positions in healthcare facilities. The program will assess the feasibility of training candidates for specific roles, consider the distance of job locations from candidates' residences along with their transportation options, and identify any barriers that may hinder immediate employment, even in probationary roles pending training completion.

Additionally, the bill allocates $250,000 from the general fund to support training programs and resources for eligible individuals, leveraging existing training initiatives managed by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
