RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION – Adds to existing law to establish the Idaho Rural Health Transformation Fund and the Rural Health Transformation Committee.
This bill creates the Idaho Rural Health Transformation Fund and a new committee to manage federal grant money for improving healthcare in rural areas. The fund will hold money from federal grants and can only be used for projects approved under the federal rural health transformation program. A nine-member committee, made up of state legislators and the governor's appointee, will oversee how the money is spent, set rules for funding applications, and track project progress. The committee must also ensure funded projects have sustainability plans and report regularly to the legislature.
