HR 3333 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary
This bill requires the National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice to examine and report on the growing nursing shortage in the United States.

The council must also identify areas where federal policy has hindered the response to the nursing shortage, such as support for nursing education programs, workforce diversity, and incentives for nurses in underserved areas, and recommend legislative and regulatory solutions. The council must submit its findings and recommendations to the President, Congress, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services within one year and make the report publicly available online.
