About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · December 5, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The Fast Track Healthcare Apprenticeships Act would streamline the process for registering healthcare apprenticeship programs under the existing National Apprenticeship Act. The bill requires the Department of Labor to make decisions on healthcare apprenticeship applications within 45 days, and if unable to meet that deadline, to provide written explanations and estimated timelines for decisions within 90 days. The legislation also mandates that the Department of Labor digitize all apprenticeship agreement forms, including employer agreements and disability disclosure forms, to modernize the registration system. This bill would affect healthcare employers, workers, and apprenticeship programs seeking to train people in healthcare practitioner, technical, and support occupations. No specific funding amounts are mentioned in the legislation, which focuses on procedural improvements to existing apprenticeship programs rather than new spending.
