AI Summary
This bill creates the New York State Mental Health Nurse Loan Forgiveness Incentive Program. The program will provide student loan forgiveness awards on a competitive basis to eligible mental health nurses who have graduated from a New York state college or university, have outstanding student loan debt, and commit to practicing in a rural area or in state psychiatric hospitals, inpatient psychiatric units, addiction treatment centers, behavioral health clinics, or county-run mental health programs for the duration of the award.
