Summary

AB 2391 establishes a New Nursing Graduate Support and Placement Program administered by the Department of Health Care Access and Information. The program awards grants to community‑college nursing programs and direct support grants to recent graduates for loan repayment, relocation, housing, childcare and other costs. Funding is redirected from existing health‑care workforce funds and will only take effect after the Legislature appropriates the amounts.
