A bill for an act establishing a long-term care workforce solutions interim committee.

SF 2362 creates a study committee to examine Iowa's long-term care workforce challenges. The committee, made up of legislative leaders and 12 stakeholder representatives (including consumers, providers, and state agencies), will review service adequacy, training needs, recruitment strategies, pay rates, and turnover causes. It must submit findings by January 2027, after which the legislative fiscal committee will review the report and propose solutions by October 2027. This bill does not change laws but sets a process for studying workforce issues affecting long-term care workers and residents.
