What it does

The Resolution Act would establish a joint scholarship program between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Public Health Service, allowing PHS officers to attend medical school at VA expense and then serve in VA medical facilities, with cost-sharing and service obligations. It would also create a Professional Nonprofit Theater Grant Program under the Public Works and Economic Development Act to support employment, economic recovery, community arts, and theater facility improvements through grants to eligible nonprofit organizations. The bill affects veterans, public health officers, defense and health agencies, and nonprofit theater groups, requiring interagency agreements, written service agreements, and financial reimbursements for unmet service obligations.
