Quicker rollout of rural health program

The law exempts the Department of Health from standard state purchasing rules when running the Rural Health Transformation Program. The program office is inside the Department of Health. The state must follow federal CMS guidance, timelines, and documentation. This lets the state make purchases and contracts faster to deploy federal funds for rural health projects.
