The bill establishes the Long-term Care Workforce Study Commission in Ohio, tasked with studying the direct care and long-term care workforce. The Commission will focus on various areas, including assessing current and future workforce demands, developing recruitment strategies, identifying educational needs, and proposing funding mechanisms. It is required to issue a report of its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by August 31, 2027, after gathering testimony from interested parties and allowing for public comment on the draft report.

The Commission will consist of members from the General Assembly and individuals with expertise in long-term care, including direct care workers, service providers, and representatives from relevant organizations. Appointments must be made by December 31, 2025, and the Commission will be co-chaired by majority party members from both the Senate and House of Representatives. The Commission may also form subcommittees and will receive administrative support from the General Assembly staff. It will dissolve after submitting its recommendations.
