To amend Public Health Service Act to require community health centers to provide behavioral and mental health and substance use disorder services, and for other purposes.

This bill would add behavioral and mental health and substance use disorder services to the list of primary health services that federally funded community health centers are required to provide. It would remove these services from the separate list of additional health services that centers may offer. The bill would also set aside $700,000,000 each year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, transferred to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to provide enhanced funding for these services.
