To amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize the school-based health centers grant program.
This bill extends federal funding for school-based health centers through fiscal year 2031. It directly affects schools and community organizations that operate health centers providing medical care to students. The key provision increases the annual grant amount to $55 million per year for the five-year period. This change ensures continued financial support for programs that offer healthcare services directly within educational settings. The legislation does not alter eligibility requirements or program structure, only the funding timeline and amount.
