Health CARE Training Act

This bill changes the federal Health Profession Opportunity Grant program, which funds projects that train people for health care jobs. Projects would have to provide trainees working toward a recognized credential at least as many training hours as the state requires for certification at that skill level, or, if the state has no requirement, the number of hours the federal Secretary finds necessary. Cash stipends and emergency assistance paid to participants would not count as income for federal income tax purposes. Groups making these payments would not have to file tax information returns for them. Both changes would apply starting October 1, 2025.
