❌ HB530
Establish the Long-term Care Workforce Study Commission
Summary
The bill establishes the Long-term Care Workforce Study Commission to study the direct care and long-term care workforce in Ohio, make policy recommendations on workforce demand, recruitment strategies, educational needs, barriers to hiring, job quality, shared staffing opportunities, and funding mechanisms. The Commission will consist of members from the General Assembly and experts in the field, and it is required to issue a report by August 31, 2027.
Rationale
The bill involves government intervention in workforce management and education, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government involvement in labor markets and free market operations. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for reduced government control and interference in employment agreements and economic activities.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over labor markets
- Potential for cronyism in workforce recommendations
- Misallocation of resources due to government intervention
