PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE FUND

Summary
Amends the Nurse Practice Act. Creates the Illinois Primary Care Workforce Investment Fund for the purposes of providing individuals seeking licensure as an advanced practice nurse with increased opportunities to complete the clinical hours required for licensure and increased access to clinical preceptors who are qualified to teach, supervise, and evaluate these individuals.
