## Summary

**Expands primary and dental care access for people with developmental disabilities.** This bill would add individuals with a developmental disability to the list of "special medically underserved populations" and create a new grant program to fund health center sites serving them. - Individuals with developmental disabilities: Would increase access to integrated primary and dental services through dedicated health center delivery sites and require specialized treatment and trained dental staff when needed. - Health centers: Would allow existing health centers to receive grants to establish or operate new sites focused on this population, and requires grant funding to supplement, not replace, current resources. - Communities and workforce planning: Would add this population to Health Professional Shortage Area considerations and to funding reports, which could affect where shortage designations and resources are targeted. *Would authorize $15 million per year from 2026 through 2030 (about $75 million total) for the new grants, increasing federal spending over that period.*
