Requires Commissioner of DOLWD to conduct study to identify composition of current health care workforce, estimate future gaps, and recommend solutions to address gaps.

This bill (S 2445) requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, working with the Departments of Health and Human Services, to study the state's healthcare workforce. The study must analyze current vacancy rates, workforce demographics (including race, gender, and occupation), regional staffing needs, and future supply-demand gaps. It will produce a report with specific recommendations for addressing identified shortages, to be submitted to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The bill directly affects state agencies responsible for workforce planning but does not implement new policies or funding.
