Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill amends section 756(f) of the Public Health Service Act to change the reauthorized fiscal years for mental and behavioral health education and training grants. It replaces the previous authorization period (fiscal years 2023–2027) with fiscal years 2026–2030, thereby extending the statutory authorization for those grant programs.
