AI Summary
This bill establishes a grant program administered by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to support certified dental sealant programs in schools. A certified dental sealant program is defined as a local school-based dental sealant program that has been certified by the OHA. The bill requires the OHA to distribute grant funds proportionally based on the number of schools served by each program. The authority must create a formal application process with specific rules, review applications, and approve or reject them, with grant awards to be disbursed by August 1 of each calendar year. The bill includes an appropriation of $900,000 from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium to support these grant activities. The goal of the program is to promote and enhance oral health care coordination in school-based dental sealant programs, which likely aims to improve dental health access and preventive care for students.
