What it does
The Protecting Health Care Workforce Pipelines Act would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to delay, until July 1, 2030, the termination of authority to award certain Federal Direct PLUS loans and the implementation of loan limits for graduate and professional students. It applies specifically to students enrolled at health professions or nursing schools located within 100 miles of a health professional shortage area or serving a medically underserved community. The bill aims to maintain access to federal student loans for these students to support the health care workforce pipeline.
