Summary
The bill establishes a trust fund and a program fund to provide loan repayment and loan‑for‑service payments to physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice nurses who agree to work in designated underserved regions of the state. Initial money comes from a $5 million transfer and a $1 million annual appropriation, and the funds are managed by the Higher Education Department. The goal is to increase the number of primary‑care providers in areas that lack sufficient health services.
