Bill > HB3066

This bill establishes the Rural Health Transformation Workforce Implementation Revolving Fund, a dedicated fund managed by the Health Care Workforce Training Commission, to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in rural and underserved areas of Oklahoma. The fund will be replenished by state appropriations, federal grants, and private donations, and its primary purpose is to recruit and retain clinical workforce talent in these areas, requiring a commitment of at least five years of service in rural communities, as well as supporting the operational costs of related programs. The bill also grants the Commission the authority to create necessary rules for the program's implementation and declares an emergency, meaning the act will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.
