AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Department of Public Health to create a nursing scholarship program. The program will provide tuition assistance for up to four years to eligible students who enroll in accredited nursing degree programs in Massachusetts, as long as they commit to at least two years of full-time service in a qualified medical institution or healthcare facility within the state upon graduation. The bill aims to address the shortage of nurses and healthcare workers in Massachusetts, which has been exacerbated by factors like worker migration, retirements, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will track and analyze detailed records of participating students to help refine the program over time.
