Part F of title VII of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 295h) is amended... SEC. 782. LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM FOR MENTAL HEALTH WORKFORCE. The Secretary, acting through the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration... shall carry out a program...

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The Balint-sponsored bill would amend PHSA Title VII to create an HRSA-administered mental health workforce loan repayment program. It does not address Title VIII nursing workforce funding and did not become law, so it supports only partial progress rather than full delivery.

Balint took same-term legislative action related to HRSA health workforce policy by sponsoring H.R.10448, which would create an HRSA-administered mental health workforce loan repayment program under Title VII. But the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, did not become law, and did not cover increased funding for both Title VII and Title VIII programs. The promised funding outcome therefore was not delivered, though the bill supports an effort badge.
