It allows the President to enter into agreements with these platforms, utilizing independent contractor health care workers to bolster healthcare capacity during crises. The bill also facilitates temporary licensure waivers for out-of-state workers and includes reporting requirements to track the program’s effectiveness and identify challenges. Finally, it provides liability protections for participating workers and platforms, with exceptions for gross negligence.
