This bill aims to enhance the Rural Health Opportunity Program in Nebraska by establishing a memorandum of understanding between the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges and the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. The program is designed to encourage students from rural communities to pursue careers in health care and return to practice in their home areas. The bill outlines eligibility criteria for students, which include attending or graduating from an accredited high school in Nebraska and being a resident of a rural area as defined by the respective boards.

Additionally, the bill provides for a tuition waiver covering 100% of the costs for eligible students participating in the program, allowing them to complete necessary coursework at a state college for up to four years. The legislation also expresses the intent of the Nebraska Legislature to allocate sufficient funds each fiscal year to support the program's implementation.
