Rural communities would keep access to telehealth and online education services until 2030.
This bill would make sure a program that helps rural areas get telehealth and online education can keep running. It would extend the program, which is run by the Department of Agriculture, until the government's budget year 2030, instead of ending in 2023. This means people in rural areas would continue to benefit from these important services.
Currently, the Department of Agriculture's Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program is set to end in the government's budget year 2023. If this bill passes, the program would be allowed to continue until the government's budget year 2030, ensuring its services remain available to rural communities for an additional seven years.
