Assessments
Public Law 115-302, the Action for Dental Health Act of 2018, reauthorized the HRSA dental workforce grant authority for FY2019-FY2023 and addressed dental health professional shortage areas. It passed both chambers and was signed into law on December 11, 2018 while Ken Calvert was serving in the House; Calvert also voted for House passage of H.R. 2422. This satisfies the promised federal grant program reauthorization during the same term.
