AN ACT CONCERNING THE CERTIFICATION AND LICENSURE OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TRAINED IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

HB 6560 streamlines the certification and licensing process for healthcare professionals trained outside the U.S. who commit to practicing in the state for two years. It amends state law to reduce barriers for these providers, making it easier for them to become licensed to work in healthcare roles. The key provision requires a two-year practice commitment in exchange for a simplified certification pathway. The bill aims to support and facilitate the entry of internationally trained healthcare workers into the state's workforce.
