Senate Bill No. introduced by D. Lenz establishes the Montana Physicians' Workforce Investment Act, which aims to address the physician workforce needs in Montana through the creation of a graduate medical education task force and a grant program to support the establishment of graduate medical education programs in the state. The bill outlines the task force's composition, which will now consist of six members, including representatives from the Department of Public Health and Human Services, the Commissioner of Higher Education, and the Department of Labor and Industry, along with appointees from the governor and two nonvoting legislative members. The task force is responsible for developing and administering a grant program to assist health sector facilities in creating graduate medical education programs.

The bill allocates $6 million from the general fund for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, to support the grant program, with a maximum grant amount of $2 million available to recipients. The task force is required to submit an annual report detailing its activities, expenditures, and the status of the grant program. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is intended to be codified as part of Title 39, chapter 11, part 2 of the Montana Code.
