S 3679 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes and extends two key mental health programs for healthcare professionals under existing law. It extends the education initiative encouraging healthcare workers to access mental health services from 2025-2029 (previously 2022-2024) and extends funding for programs promoting mental health among healthcare workforces through 2029. A new provision requires grant recipients to focus on reducing administrative burdens on healthcare workers. The bill directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and nurses) by maintaining access to mental health support programs and streamlining administrative processes. It makes no new policy changes beyond extending existing program timelines and adding one specific requirement.
