Rural areas; create a tiered rural classification schedule

Summary

The bill establishes a three‑tier classification for rural municipalities, unincorporated communities, and census tracts based on population, density, isolation and economic character. State agencies may reference these tiers when setting eligibility, prioritizing funding, or adjusting cost‑sharing requirements. It aims to target assistance more precisely to the most remote and underserved rural communities.
