Summary

Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act This bill authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants to public or private nonprofit health care facilities and home health agencies for providing hazard pay to essential health care workers during a declared emergency or disaster in which the work or commute is hazardous.
