H.B. No. 3800 establishes an advisory board under the Texas Workforce Commission to create a resource guide aimed at enhancing collaboration among health care providers and institutions of higher education. This guide will focus on identifying and addressing local health care workforce needs, including issues related to training, workforce shortages, and challenging workloads. The advisory board will consist of various members, including representatives from urban and rural two-year and four-year institutions of higher education, local workforce development boards, statewide organizations representing hospitals, health care professionals, and community health centers.
The advisory board will elect a presiding officer and meet periodically, with a requirement to submit the developed resource guide to the legislature by November 1, 2026. The advisory board is set to be abolished, and the section establishing it will expire on September 1, 2027. The executive director of the Texas Workforce Commission is tasked with appointing the board members as soon as practicable after the act's effective date, which is September 1, 2025.
