Bill > LD581

This bill provides ongoing funding for the Doctors for Maine's Future Scholarship Program by allocating $300,000 from the General Fund in both fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. The scholarship program, established under Maine Revised Statutes Title 20-A, section 12103-A, aims to support medical education for students in Maine, likely with the goal of addressing physician workforce needs in the state. The funding will be managed by the Finance Authority of Maine and will help maintain the scholarship initiative, which presumably provides financial assistance to medical students who commit to practicing in Maine after completing their education. By providing consistent funding, the bill seeks to support the development of a robust, locally-trained medical workforce that can help meet the healthcare needs of Maine's communities.
