Massachusetts H2498 aims to prevent conflicts of interest in temporary nursing agencies at skilled nursing facilities.

Massachusetts H2498 seeks to address conflicts of interest in the use of temporary nursing agencies at skilled nursing facilities. The bill directs the Department of Public Health to amend state regulations, requiring additional reporting from individuals or entities with a 5% or greater ownership interest in a temporary nursing agency and an operating license for a skilled nursing facility. It prohibits such agencies from procuring or providing temporary employment at facilities jointly owned by the same individual, family member, or entity.
