A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize a grant program for addressing dental workforce needs.

This bill proposes to amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize a critical grant program specifically designed to address dental workforce needs across the nation. The legislation targets Section 340G(f) to update its funding provisions and extend its operational period.

Under the proposed changes, the program would receive an annual appropriation of $15,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2031. This represents an increase in funding compared to previous allocations and ensures that resources remain available until expended, thereby supporting sustained efforts to improve dental health access and strengthen the dental workforce.
