MINOR
The bill was amended to update its title from 'SB 772' to 'A-Engrossed SB 772' and to remove a deleted section that defined tribal service sites. The core scholarship program for Indian health students remains substantively unchanged, with the same eligibility requirements, service obligations, and repayment terms.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing a definition of tribal service sites that allowed facilities serving 50% Indian patient populations, limiting the program to facilities on reservations or those serving at least 50% tribal members.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header to reflect its current status as 'A-Engrossed' instead of 'Introduced'.
Added a note explaining formatting conventions for amended sections (bold for new text, italics for deleted text).
DEFINITION
Deleted a subsection defining tribal service sites that included facilities serving at least 50% tribal members, narrowing where scholarship recipients must practice.
