GovInfo bill text for H.R. 9140 says that on June 4, 2026, Rep. Maxine Dexter introduced the MEDIC Careers Act "for herself and Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona." The bill's purpose is to improve the transition of medics into the civilian workforce in health care occupations and modify assistance for separated service members seeking employment with health care providers.

Hamadeh's official House office announced that he introduced the MEDIC Careers Act and stated that the legislation aims to ease the healthcare provider shortage and provide more job opportunities for veterans.
Assessments
Hamadeh promised to introduce legislation, not necessarily enact it. During his House term, H.R. 9140, the MEDIC Careers Act, was introduced with Hamadeh as an original named co-lead/cosponsor, and his official House office described it as legislation to ease the healthcare provider shortage while expanding job opportunities for veterans. That directly matches the promised action and occurred in the same federal term after the 2024 campaign.
