EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill relates to the reporting requirements for a health care employment agency. 
   Under current law, a health care employment agency is required to submit a report to the department of inspections and appeals on a quarterly basis for each health care entity participating in Medicare or Medicaid with whom the agency contracts that includes both a detailed list of the average amount charged to the health care entity for each individual agency worker category and a detailed list of the average amount paid by the agency to agency workers in each individual agency worker category. The bill eliminates the required reporting of the detailed list of the average amount paid by the agency to agency workers in each individual agency worker category.
