Stops the federal nursing home minimum staffing rule from taking effect and bars the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from issuing any substantially similar rule in the future. This keeps current federal staffing requirements from changing.
Creates a 17‑member Advisory Panel on the Nursing Home Workforce within 60 days to study staffing challenges and make recommendations. The panel must meet at least twice a year, provide virtual public access and recordings, and publish an initial report and yearly updates focused on workforce shortages (especially in rural and underserved areas), regulatory impacts, and ways to strengthen the workforce.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
