AI Summary
This bill aims to address the shortage of nursing and healthcare workers in Massachusetts by creating a Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP). The NSP will provide financial assistance to qualified students who enroll in accredited nursing programs within the Commonwealth, as long as they commit to at least two years of full-time service in a qualified medical institution or healthcare facility in Massachusetts after graduation. The bill authorizes the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Department of Public Health to develop and manage the program, which will provide up to four years of complete tuition compensation for eligible students. The Department is also required to maintain detailed records, analyze the program's progress, and provide an annual public report with recommendations for program refinement.
