## Summary

**Shifts and increases funding for the Action for Dental Health grant program.** This bill would amend Section 340G(f) of the Public Health Service Act to replace the prior annual authorization of $13.9 million for fiscal years 2019–2023 with a new annual authorization of $15.0 million for fiscal years 2027–2031.
