Bill > SB277

This bill extends the expiration date for the emergency licensing process and the emergency or temporary licensing of health care workers enacted in SB155-FN (2021), converts the temporary or emergency licenses issued to permanent licenses, and extends the repeal dates of those provisions. Specifically, the bill allows healthcare workers issued emergency or temporary licenses during the COVID-19 pandemic on or before January 31, 2022 to continue practicing until June 30, 2023. It also converts the emergency licenses issued during the pandemic to permanent, single-state licenses effective upon the bill's passage. The bill may result in a loss of state revenue of up to $692,850 in fiscal year 2022 as some emergency licenses are converted to permanent licenses, and an increase in revenue of up to $692,850 in fiscal year 2024 when the emergency licensing process ends.
