Bill > HB1855

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the State General Fund to Access Training, Inc. in Jackson for the fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically to provide financial support for students in training programs. The funding will be used for three primary purposes: (1) covering full or partial tuition and fees for students and providing training stipends, (2) funding mentorship initiatives that connect trainees with established professionals to facilitate knowledge transfer and community engagement, and (3) financing continuing education for current healthcare providers to encourage specialization in areas of community need. The State Treasurer will disburse the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition, and the appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025. This bill aims to support workforce development and education in the healthcare sector by providing financial assistance and professional development opportunities for students and current healthcare providers.
