AI Summary
This bill creates a new funding mechanism for the Oregon Wellness Program, which supports the well-being of health care professionals in the state. Specifically, the bill directs the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to distribute $1,600,000 from the General Fund during the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, to the Oregon Wellness Program. The funding is intended to support the program's efforts to provide counseling, education, and research services for eligible health care professionals. The bill emphasizes that this appropriation is in addition to any other existing funding, not a replacement. The legislation will take effect on the 91st day after the 2025 regular session of the Eighty-third Legislative Assembly adjourns sine die (a legal term meaning the legislative session ends without setting a day to resume). By providing dedicated funding, the bill aims to support the mental health and professional well-being of health care workers in Oregon.
