Health Care Services Platforms

This bill creates a state registration system for health care staffing platforms (like apps connecting workers with facilities). Starting January 1, 2026, these platforms must register with Utah's licensing division, pay annual fees up to $500, and verify workers' licenses, background checks, and insurance before shifts. It prohibits platforms from requiring non-compete agreements or charging workers for referrals. The law directly affects staffing platforms, ensuring they meet basic standards while protecting workers' ability to use multiple platforms.
