Summary#
This bill changes one sentence in the Public Health Service Act to set a fixed annual amount for the school-based health centers grant program. Instead of saying "such sums as may be necessary" for fiscal years 2022–2026, the bill would authorize $55,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support the existing school-based health centers grant program.
What it means for you#
- If you operate, work at, or use a school-based health center, this bill would set a known federal grant amount each year from 2027 through 2031.
- The bill does not change how the program works in statute beyond the funding amount; details about who gets grants and how they are run stay in the existing law.
Expenses#
- The bill authorizes $55,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2027–2031.
- That equals $275,000,000 authorized over the five-year period.
- No publicly available information on offsets, estimated net budgetary effects, or additional budget details is provided in the bill text.
