AI Summary

Changes grant rules for three rural health programs so funding must prioritize rural underserved populations and require those populations to be included in program planning and operations. Also updates the programs’ statutory authorization period from 2021–2025 to 2026–2030.

The amendment modifies the Public Health Service Act (Section 330A) to refocus how grantees use and design funding, and to extend the time period during which the programs are authorized to operate.
