Public Health and Bio-Preparedness Workforce Loan Repayment Reauthorization Act of 2025
This bill extends the Public Health and Bio-Preparedness Workforce Loan Repayment Program through fiscal years 2026 to 2030, replacing the previous 2023-2025 funding period. It directly affects public health workers (such as epidemiologists, laboratory staff, and emergency response personnel) who have federal student loans. The key provision reauthorizes existing funding to help these workers repay student debt by providing federal reimbursements. This maintains a critical workforce retention tool for agencies like the CDC and state health departments without creating new benefits or altering eligibility. The change is procedural, solely adjusting the program's funding timeline.
