Directs that two existing grant programs under the Public Health Service Act be used to serve and actively involve rural underserved populations and local communities. It also extends the programs' authorization period forward, updating the prior 2021–2025 authorization window to cover 2026–2030.
The change is made by amending the statute governing the grant programs (Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act) and focuses program requirements on rural reach and community involvement without changing benefit eligibility or creating a new entitlement.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
