What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Dental Loan Repayment Assistance Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to exclude certain federally subsidized loan repayments for dental school faculty from being counted as gross income. This exclusion applies specifically to loan repayment programs awarded a grant or contract under section 748(a)(2) of the Public Health Service Act. The changes would take effect for amounts received in taxable years beginning after the bill is enacted. Additionally, the bill requires the Comptroller General to review and report on the participation of dental providers and faculty in specific programs.
