Reintroduced
Reintroduced from H.R. 1675 (118th), which died when its Congress ended.
This bill creates a dedicated pool of money to train healthcare workers in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and Guam. It sets aside 5 percent of a specific federal grant program just for these islands.
The plan makes the Northern Mariana Islands eligible for these grants for the first time. This means local organizations there can apply for federal money to help residents start careers in the medical field.
The government would be required to give out at least two grants to groups located in the territories. This ensures that these communities actually receive the help they need rather than being overlooked.
This change is meant to help fix healthcare worker shortages in island communities. By training local people for medical jobs, the islands can improve their own health systems and provide better care for residents.
