Utah law regulates health care services platforms—apps and digital systems that connect independent health care workers with facilities for short-term shifts, requiring these platforms to register with the state, keep records on workers' licensing and background checks, and avoid certain restrictive practices like non-compete agreements. This bill would narrow who counts as a "health care worker" under these rules by explicitly excluding physicians, osteopaths, advanced practice registered nurses, certified nurse midwives, and physician assistants from that definition. As a result, the platform registration and oversight requirements would no longer apply when these specific licensed professionals use such platforms to pick up shifts, while the rules would continue to apply to other health care workers.
