An Act relative to tuition and student loan reimbursement in gateway cities

This bill provides tuition and student loan reimbursement for healthcare professionals working in designated gateway cities. It covers physicians, dentists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who practice in a health care facility located within a gateway municipality (defined as a city with population 35,000-250,000, below-average income, and below-average bachelor's degree attainment). Eligible professionals receive 10% of their undergraduate or professional school tuition/student loans after completing 10 years of practice in a gateway city. Reimbursement is subject to state appropriation and requires the professional to work in a health care facility within the designated municipality.
