HB 2754 establishes the Oklahoma Rural Hospitals Funding Assistance Grant Program Act of 2025. This program aims to improve access to healthcare for residents in rural areas by providing grants to eligible rural hospitals. The State Department of Health will administer the program, developing criteria to prioritize funding for areas disproportionately impacted by limited access to medical facilities due to distance. To support this, the bill also creates the Oklahoma Rural Hospitals Funding Assistance Grant Program Revolving Fund in the State Treasury to hold and disburse the grant monies.
