Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses health care staffing.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a regulatory framework for health care services platforms in Utah, which are electronic systems that allow health care workers to accept shifts at medical facilities as independent contractors. Under the bill, these platforms must register with the state division by September 1, 2025, and cannot operate without a valid registration starting January 1, 2026. Platforms are required to verify that health care workers meet licensing, training, and background check standards, maintain liability insurance, and adhere to specific operational restrictions, such as prohibiting non-compete agreements and preventing platforms from charging workers fees for job opportunities. The state division will create a registration program with initial and annual fees not exceeding $500, review platform applications within 30 days, and have the authority to deny, suspend, or place conditions on registrations for non-compliance. The bill aims to ensure the quality and integrity of health care staffing platforms by establishing clear standards and oversight mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of protecting both health care workers and the facilities where they provide services. The bill will take effect on May 7, 2025.
