Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Nurse Practice Act. Creates the Illinois Primary Care Workforce Investment Fund for the purposes of providing individuals seeking licensure as an advanced practice nurse with increased opportunities to complete the clinical hours required for licensure and increased access to clinical preceptors who are qualified to teach, supervise, and evaluate these individuals. Provides that the fund is also intended to address the State-wide shortage of a primary care workforce by increasing the number of advanced practice nurses in local health care facilities. Further provides that the fund shall be financed by moneys collected from the proceeds of the penalty imposed on cardholders who violate certain provisions of the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and from the proceeds of the tax paid by cultivation centers under certain provisions of the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. Amends the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and the State Finance Act to make related changes.
