To amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond to Health and Wellness Training Program.
HR 7224 extends funding for the SOAR to Health and Wellness Training Program by updating its authorization period in law from fiscal years 2020-2024 to 2025-2029. This procedural bill directly affects the existing program, which trains health professionals to identify and address patient health concerns through observation and communication. It does not create new requirements or change program operations, only renewing the legal funding timeframe.
