Summary
The RURAL Healthcare Act classifies qualified locum tenens professionals and advanced care practitioners as independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the National Labor Relations Act. The bill defines eligible individuals as physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, or certified registered nurse anesthetists who provide temporary services at a single site for no more than one continuous year under a written contract specifying independent contractor status. This exemption would exclude these healthcare workers from federal employee protections and labor organizing rights.
