AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "provider of health care" under the Student Loan Repayment for Providers of Health Care in Underserved Communities Program to include additional mental health and substance abuse professionals. Specifically, the bill adds marriage and family therapists, clinical alcohol and drug counselors, and licensed or certified alcohol and drug counselors to the existing list of healthcare professionals eligible for student loan repayment assistance. The program, which is administered by the Office of the State Treasurer, helps healthcare providers working in underserved communities repay their student education loans. By broadening the definition of eligible providers, the bill aims to support and incentivize more mental health and substance abuse professionals to work in communities with limited access to these critical healthcare services. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing time for implementation and for potential providers to plan their career paths accordingly.
