The proposed bill establishes the "Healthcare Worker Platform Act" as a new chapter in Title 23 of the General Laws, which focuses on the regulation of platforms that connect healthcare workers with healthcare facilities. It defines a "healthcare worker platform" as any person, corporation, partnership, or association that operates or offers a platform, clarifying that these platforms are not classified as nursing service agencies as defined in existing law.

The bill mandates that by June 1, 2026, the Department of Health shall promulgate rules and regulations requiring the registration of each healthcare worker platform operating within the state. The registration requirements for these platforms shall not exceed those outlined for nursing service agencies in existing statutes.

Additionally, the bill specifies that healthcare worker platforms are excluded from the definitions and regulations that apply to nursing service agencies, thereby creating a distinct regulatory framework for these platforms. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
