This bipartisan bill ensures continued funding to expand telehealth services and is a practical way to improve access, reduce delays, and bring care closer to home. I’m thankful to Chairman Guthrie for helping move this bill through the House and look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get it signed into law.

Valadao pledged to keep working to pass and enact the telehealth reauthorization bill that continues funding through FY2030.

Evidence

The House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 3419, the Telehealth Network and Telehealth Resource Centers Grant Program Reauthorization Act, which Valadao said would reauthorize the telehealth network and telehealth resource centers grant programs through Fiscal Year 2030.

Valadao secured House passage of his telehealth reauthorization bill with FY2030 funding language, a concrete step toward the pledge.

The engrossed bill states that it would amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize the telehealth network and telehealth resource centers grant programs and adds "$42,050,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030." It also notes, 'Passed the House of Representatives April 21, 2026.'

Official bill text confirms House passage and the FY2026-FY2030 funding extension, but not final enactment.

GovInfo's bill record shows H.R. 3419 was 'Referred in Senate' on April 22, 2026, one day after House passage.

The bill moved to the Senate but there is no evidence in this window of Senate passage or enactment, so the commitment remains unresolved beyond the House step.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Valadao materially advanced the promise by getting H.R. 3419 through the House with language to reauthorize the telehealth grant programs and fund them through FY2030, but the available evidence stops at referral to the Senate and does not show final enactment or continued funding becoming law. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

Valadao materially advanced the promise during the same federal term by sponsoring H.R. 3419 and securing unanimous House passage of a bill to reauthorize and fund the telehealth network and telehealth resource center grant programs through fiscal year 2030. However, as of the evidence provided, the bill had only been referred to the Senate and had not been enacted, so the underlying reauthorization and funding extension were not fully delivered.
