What it does
This bill extends federal funding for mental and behavioral health education and training grants by five years, shifting the authorization period from fiscal years 2023–2027 to 2026–2030. It allows the existing grant program under the Public Health Service Act to continue operating and receiving appropriations through 2030.
Why we flagged it
The bill is a straightforward extension of an existing federal grant program's authorization period. It contains no new policy, no new funding amount, and no structural change — only a shift in the fiscal-year window during which the program may receive appropriations.
Who stands to gain
academic institutions offering mental health training programs; health professions schools and graduate programs
