Rep.Goeben speaks on her Assembly Bill 144 relating to preliminary health care credentials granted to previously unlicensed individuals:
“Wisconsin is in a workforce crisis. This crisis acutely impacts professions that require extensive years of education and training, especially in healthcare. With a lack of trained professionals in key industries and demand growing, there needs to be a more efficient on-ramp to keep them in Wisconsin.
This legislation will help alleviate the shortage of these professionals who would otherwise not be allowed to work and may even leave Wisconsin altogether. It will help streamline the credentialing process and allow more trained professionals to efficiently enter the workforce.
