AN ACT relating to health care.

This bill expands the list of healthcare credentials that qualify for certain state benefits to include physician assistants, dietitians, and nutritionists. It also adjusts rules for healthcare training scholarships, focusing a specific scholarship program on nursing aide training and removing restrictions that would have limited where scholarship recipients could work after completing that training. Who it may affect: people pursuing careers as physician assistants, dietitians, nutritionists, or nursing aides, and healthcare employers seeking to hire trained workers.
