Bill Summary
CONCERNING FUNDING FOR RURAL HEALTH CARE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide funding for rural health care in Colorado. It makes the following key provisions:
1. It requires the Rural Program Office to submit an annual report on the initiative, including information about health-care professional rural tracks, student enrollment and completion, as well as the allocation formula developed for distributing funds to the participating institutions.
2. It authorizes the Department of Higher Education to enter into fee-for-service contracts with the University of Colorado and other specified institutions to establish or expand existing rural track programs. The bill outlines various factors the Rural Program Office must consider when developing the allocation formula for distributing these funds.
3. It creates the Rural Hospital Cash Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing for distributing equal amounts to rural hospitals.
4. It appropriates $866,667 from the general fund to the Department of Higher Education for the College Opportunity Fund Program to be used for the fee-for-service contracts, and an additional $866,667 in reappropriated funds to the Department of Higher Education for allocation to the participating institutions of higher education.
