To classify qualified locum tenens professionals and advanced care practitioners as independent contractors for the purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the National Labor Relations Act.

This bill proposes to classify qualified locum tenens professionals and advanced care practitioners as independent contractors for the purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the National Labor Relations Act. This means they would not be considered employees under these federal labor laws when providing temporary services. A qualified professional is defined as an individual who provides temporary physician or advanced care practitioner services for up to one continuous year at a single site. These services must be rendered pursuant to a written contract that explicitly states the individual will not be treated as an employee. The bill includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists in this classification.
