AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a minimum wage for hospital and community health center workers in Massachusetts. It defines "covered hospital facilities" and "covered community health centers" as well as "covered hospital workers" and "covered community health center workers" to which the minimum wage requirement would apply. The bill mandates that as a condition of state licensure and Medicaid reimbursement, these covered facilities must directly compensate or ensure minimum compensation for their covered workers at a rate of at least 150% of the statewide minimum hourly wage. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services is directed to promulgate rules and regulations to implement and enforce this new requirement within 180 days of the bill's passage.
