The bill proposes an appropriation of $300,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to support a grant for the Rural Cancer Institute. This funding is intended for a pilot program aimed at expanding the clinical workforce in oncology care specifically within rural districts. The program's objectives include increasing the number of cancer care clinicians in these areas and equipping healthcare students with essential skills to address the unique challenges of providing cancer care in rural settings.

The initiative emphasizes a community-based model designed to enhance the oncology clinical workforce and tackle the existing shortage of cancer care professionals in rural regions. This funding is characterized as a one-time appropriation, indicating that it is not intended to be a recurring expense in future budgets.
