Sponsored By: Representative Cammack, Kat [R-FL-3]
Introduced
Summary
Telehealth licensure portability is the focus: this bill would reauthorize a federal grant program that helps state licensing boards reduce statutory and regulatory barriers to telemedicine. It aims to expand access in rural and underserved areas and make it easier for clinicians to practice across state lines.
Show full summary
- Patients and families: People in rural and underserved areas would likely see broader telehealth access as states adopt policies that ease cross-state care. The grant window covers fiscal years 2026–2031.
- Health workers: Clinicians would face fewer administrative hurdles and improved interstate mobility when licensing rules are updated with grant support.
- State licensing boards: Boards would be eligible for grants administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to design and implement policies that lower legal and regulatory barriers to telemedicine.
*The bill would extend the grant authorization through fiscal years 2026–2031 but does not specify funding amounts in the text provided.*
