Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 511 allow out-of-state health care practitioners to temporarily practice in Virginia for a 90-day period when they meet specified conditions. Notably, the language was updated to explicitly include contracts with "assisted living facilities," ensuring these facilities can utilize qualified practitioners from outside the state. This change is significant because it helps address staffing shortages in various health care settings, improving access to services for residents in Virginia.
