This bill amends the Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations act by reallocating a $2 million appropriation originally designated for Rowan University’s Virtua Health College of Medicine and Life Sciences. The funds will now be directed to the Department of Health to support Virtua Health College specifically for hospital support. The total amount appropriated for FY 2027 remains unchanged at $132,884,000 for Rowan University.
In the revised appropriations, the language reflects the reassignment of funds, with the previous allocation for the Virtua Health College of Medicine and Life Sciences being deleted and replaced with a new line item for Virtua Health College Hospital Support. The overall budget for health care systems analysis has also been adjusted, increasing from $555,617,000 to $557,617,000 to accommodate this change. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
