An Act relative to healthcare industry recruitment and education for the 21st Century

This bill creates a new advisory council to help Massachusetts recruit and train workers for primary and behavioral healthcare jobs. The council will include representatives from universities, hospitals, labor unions, and community groups to guide how the state uses a dedicated fund for education and recruitment efforts. It also establishes a separate financial account called the HIRE Fund, which will be supported by taxes on healthcare services and other donations to pay for these initiatives. The council is tasked with developing clear goals and reporting its recommendations to state leaders every year.
