(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota lawmakers advanced a budget bill to authorize the Department of Health and Human Services to spend Rural Health Transformation Program money.
Legislative Management convened an interim committee in the fall to guide the state’s grant application and prepare the proposal, House Bill 1623.
The Rural Health Transformation Program, passed by Congress last year, sets aside $50 billion through 2030 for states. Each state is guaranteed a minimum of $500 million and is eligible to receive up to $1 billion.
The federal government in late December awarded North Dakota $199 million for the first year of the grant.
