AI Summary

This bill creates the Southern Nevada Health Care Workforce Apprenticeship Pilot Program to address shortages of medical assistants and pharmaceutical technicians in Nevada by establishing apprenticeship training programs in Southern Nevada. Workforce Connections will receive a $300,000 appropriation from the State General Fund to develop and administer the program, which will support up to 100 apprentices by covering their professional certification and registration fees. The apprenticeship programs must be registered and approved by the State Apprenticeship Council, and the funding is time-limited, with any unspent money required to be returned to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027. The bill defines medical assistants and pharmaceutical technicians according to existing Nevada Revised Statutes, and the program will aim to create structured training pathways for these critical healthcare workforce roles. The act will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing a targeted approach to addressing healthcare workforce gaps in Southern Nevada through a structured apprenticeship model.
