The bill modifies the appropriation for the Rural Cancer Institute pilot program, as outlined in previous legislation. It specifies that the program must prioritize Minnesota clinicians and students, allowing for the inclusion of out-of-state clinicians and students only if they receive a recommendation from a practicing Minnesota oncologist and provide care within the state.

Additionally, the bill extends the availability of appropriations for the Rural Cancer Institute pilot program for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 until June 30, 2028. The new provisions are set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
