In plain language
The bill seeks to expand the definition of public health workers, add anti‑discrimination safeguards, and increase compensation through hazard, subsistence, laundry, night‑shift, and education‑related allowances. It also creates step‑increment incentives for post‑graduate degrees and length of service, and requires the Department of Health to issue rules and periodic reviews. Funding is to come from the agencies’ existing budgets, and the new allowances are tax‑exempt.
