Welcome Back to the Health Care Workforce Act
To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants for career support for a skilled, internationally educated health care workforce.
HB9747 aims to help the Secretary of Health and Human Services give out grants. These grants would support the careers of skilled health care workers who were educated in other countries. This bill is intended to ensure that the U.S. health care system has enough qualified professionals.
The bill would primarily affect internationally educated health care workers who are already in the U.S. or planning to come here. It aims to make it easier for them to find and keep jobs in the health care field. This support could lead to better health care services for everyone.
HB9747 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This means it is in the early stages of being considered by the House. Further steps will involve reviewing the bill, making changes if necessary, and deciding whether to vote on it.
