What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Territory Health Revitalization Act," aims to provide specific funding for U.S. territories. It creates a 5 percent set-aside of funds within the health profession opportunity grant program for territories outside of the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The bill also makes the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands eligible for these grants. Additionally, it requires the Secretary to award at least two grants to eligible entities located in a territory, provided enough qualifying applications are submitted. These changes are scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025.
