STORM Act allows President to waive state licensure for out-of-state health care workers during emergencies.
The Strategic Teams for Organized Response Mobilization Act, or STORM Act, amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to allow the President to coordinate with states to waive licensure requirements for out-of-state independent contractor health care workers during emergencies. This waiver applies if the workers are responding to an emergency through a certified health care workforce platform. The President can enter into agreements with these platforms to facilitate the deployment of qualified health care workers.
