Providing for the regulation of supplemental nursing services agencies and healthcare workers platforms by the secretary for aging and disability services.

SB 228 requires temporary healthcare staffing agencies and digital platforms connecting independent healthcare workers with facilities to register annually with Kansas' Department for Aging and Disability Services. Agencies must verify workers' licenses, conduct background checks, and carry medical malpractice insurance. The department will oversee compliance through unannounced inspections, a public complaint system, and registration reviews. A $2,035 annual registration fee funds a dedicated regulation fund to support this oversight.
