RURAL Healthcare Act

This bill says that certain temporary doctors and advanced care practitioners would not count as employees of the facility where they work under two federal labor laws: the Fair Labor Standards Act and the National Labor Relations Act. It covers physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists who fill in on a temporary basis. To qualify, the person must work no more than one continuous year at a single site. They must also have a written contract stating they will not be treated as an employee.
