This bill proposes to reauthorize the school-based health centers grant program by amending the Public Health Service Act. The primary objective is to ensure continued federal support for health services provided in school settings. Specifically, the legislation strikes the previous authorization for "such sums as may be necessary" for fiscal years 2022 through 2026. It replaces this with a concrete allocation of $55,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031 . This amendment provides a clear and consistent funding mechanism for the program over the next five fiscal years.
