It could also affect Medicaid beneficiaries who rely on these services, as well as healthcare workers employed at these facilities. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced to a vote or been enacted into law. *Note: For complete details on specific staffing changes, review the full bill text through Congress.gov.*.
