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 review the findings from the 2022 final report of the Direct Care Workforce Expansion Working Group and make policy recommendations in various areas, including workforce demand, recruitment strategies, educational needs, barriers to hiring, and improving job quality. The Commission is required to issue a report of its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by October 31, 2027, and will also present its findings to relevant committees and transmit the report to the Governor and legislative leaders.

The Commission will consist of six members from the General Assembly and several representatives from statewide associations and organizations with expertise in long-term care workforce issues. Nonvoting members will include directors from relevant state departments. Members will be appointed within thirty days of the bill's effective date and will serve without compensation. The Commission is expected to meet at least six times before submitting its report, after which it will dissolve.
