What S 3355 does, verified December 6, 2025
The bill aims to expand the definition of temporary health care services agencies to include digital health care service platforms. These platforms are now considered as part of the temporary health care services agencies, which provide or procure temporary employment of health care personnel for health care entities, including via a platform or application on the internet. The definition excludes individuals who only provide their own services and home care agencies licensed under the chapter. The bill also clarifies that "assign" includes the connection of health care personnel to services at a health care entity. The changes take effect immediately.
