Bill > H0916

This bill establishes the Idaho Rural Health Transformation Fund, a dedicated account in the state treasury that will receive money from a federal grant specifically for rural health initiatives, with legislative appropriation and oversight from a newly created committee. It also creates the Rural Health Transformation Committee, composed of four senators, four representatives, and one non-voting member appointed by the governor, tasked with governing the fund's operations, setting requirements for how money is awarded to projects, reviewing progress and outcomes, and making recommendations to the legislature on the use of funds, all within the framework of a federally approved plan, and this act is declared an emergency to take effect immediately upon passage.
