What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to distribute grant moneys

each fiscal biennium to hospitals and clinics that provide training opportunities for

advanced practice clinicians. The department may distribute up to $50,000 per

hospital or clinic per fiscal year, with certain preferences and requirements applied,

depending upon whether the grant is a first-time grant. In distributing first-time

grants, the department must give preference to advanced practice clinician clinical

training programs that include rural hospitals and rural clinics as clinical training

locations. Further, under the bill, the department must require a hospital or clinic

that received a previous grant to use grant funds to pay for the costs of operating a

clinical training program for advanced practice clinicians. The bill also requires a

grant recipient to match through its own funding sources the amount of the grant

awarded by the department.
