Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize a grant program for addressing dental workforce needs.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Action for Dental Health Act," proposes to amend the Public Health Service Act, a federal law that provides grants and funding for health programs. Specifically, it aims to reauthorize and increase funding for a grant program designed to address dental workforce needs. The key provision is an amendment to Section 340G(f) of the Public Health Service Act, which currently allocates $13,903,000 annually for fiscal years 2019 through 2023. This bill seeks to replace that with an allocation of $15,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with the funds remaining available for use until they are spent. This means the government is proposing to increase the funding amount and extend the duration of this grant program, which supports efforts to improve the availability of dental professionals.
