This bill, called the Geriatrics Workforce Improvement Act, would change a part of the Public Health Service Act that supports education and training in geriatrics. It replaces prior funding language in section 753(d) by specifying a new annual appropriation amount for those programs.
The bill's sponsors are Senators Susan Collins and Tim Kaine. It was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and hearings have been held. If the bill becomes law, the geriatrics education and training programs covered by section 753(d) would be carried out with the funding level the bill sets.
The bill sets an appropriation of $48,245,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for carrying out section 753(d) of the Public Health Service Act. No publicly available information on how those funds would be divided or spent beyond that appropriation language.
