Adds a short title and directs that new language be added to Part E of Title VII of the Public Health Service Act (the federal health workforce statute). The bill itself does not include the text of the new language, funding levels, program details, deadlines, or agency instructions — it only declares the Act’s short title and states that Part E is to be amended by adding additional text.
