Territory Health Revitalization Act

This bill changes the federal Health Profession Opportunity Grant program under section 2008 of the Social Security Act. It would reserve 5 percent of the program's funding each fiscal year for grants to U.S. territories, meaning places other than the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It would remove a provision in current law so that the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands becomes eligible for these grants. It would require the Secretary to award at least 2 grants to eligible entities located in a territory, if enough qualifying applications are submitted. The changes would take effect on October 1, 2025.
