Requires Commissioner of DOLWD to conduct study to identify composition of current health care workforce, estimate future gaps, and recommend solutions to address gaps.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development (with input from Health and Human Services) to conduct a comprehensive study of the state's healthcare workforce. The study must examine vacancy rates by specialty and region, workforce demographics (including race, gender, and occupation), patient care needs across communities, and future workforce supply versus demand. It will identify gaps in staffing and recommend solutions, with a report due to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The study directly affects all healthcare facilities and workers in New Jersey, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and allied health professionals, though it does not change current policies or funding.
