Memorandum
Assumptions: The proposed legislation establishes a new fund for the grant awards and the new personnel would establish guidelines and administer the program. Until the grant award program is designed, a projection of needed resources is not feasible.
The purpose of this article is to create a Rural Mobile Health Services Program within the Department of Health (DOH), for the purpose of expanding access to essential health services in rural and underserved areas of the state, and permitting the DOH to award grants; set eligible services and expenditures; create grant preferences; and create a new fund.
