What the bill does

Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act of 2025 This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 grant programs administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that provide funding to health care service providers and related entities in rural areas. Specifically, the bill reauthorizes grants for expanding the delivery of health care services in rural areas, developing integrated health care networks (i.e., collaborative groups of local health care organizations) in rural areas, and improving the quality of services provided by small health care providers in rural areas. Also, the bill requires HRSA to ensure that grant funds for expanding services or developing health care networks are used to (1) meet the health care needs of underserved populations, and (2) engage such populations in the planning and implementation of related activities.

About this page

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
