Concerns registration and operation of temporary nurse staffing agencies.

This bill requires temporary nurse staffing agencies in New Jersey to register annually with the Division of Consumer Affairs and ensures agencies only place properly licensed nurses. It caps agency fees at 150% of the regional hourly wage (based on federal wage data) and mandates workers' compensation insurance for temporary nurses. Agencies must track and report health code violations, maintain detailed records of pay rates and employee status, and cannot restrict nurses from being hired directly by client facilities. The law aims to protect patient safety and ensure fair practices through transparency and accountability for staffing agencies.
