New ASA Legal Line Video for Members: An Update on 2023 Health Care Staffing Legislation

What’s in store, legally and legislatively, for health care staffing firms?

In the latest installment, ASA vice president of government affairs Toby Malara delivers an overview of several health care staffing-related bills introduced in the states—bills that could affect your company’s operations and growth potential.

Malara also previews a special session scheduled in conjunction with the ASA Staffing Law Conference, May 18–19 in Washington, DC. “Health Care Staffing—Combating the Legal and Legislative Issues Ahead,” which takes place Wednesday, May 17, is open to all conference registrants.
