AI Summary
This bill, the Frontline COVID-19 Provider Mental Health Resiliency Act of 2021, would require the California Department of Consumer Affairs to establish a mental health resiliency program to provide mental health services to licensed healthcare providers who have provided in-person care to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. The bill defines eligible licensees, mandates the relevant licensing boards to notify and solicit applications for the program, and requires the department and boards to report on the program's implementation by June 2025. The records associated with the program would be exempt from public disclosure, and the bill provides that no reimbursement is required for any state-mandated local program costs.
