This bill appropriates additional funds to the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho for health education programs for the fiscal year 2027. It allocates a total of $900,000 from the General Fund, which includes specific amounts for Eastern Idaho Medical Residencies, Family Medicine Residencies, and new funding for the University of Utah Medical Education. Additionally, the bill authorizes an increase of 2.5 full-time equivalent positions for health education programs during the same fiscal period.

Furthermore, the legislation aims to fund 15 new graduate medical education residencies and fellowships through the Rural Health Transformation Program. It outlines the process for utilizing funds from this program and stipulates that any unspent General Fund appropriations for graduate medical education in fiscal year 2027 should be redirected towards new undergraduate medical education seats if alternative funding becomes available. The bill also mandates a compliance report to be submitted to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee by December 1, 2026, and declares an emergency for the act to take effect on July 1, 2026.
