Latest action (Mar 19, 2026) — Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Hearings held.
What it does
Congressional Research Service, Feb 12, 2025This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor to jointly report on existing grant programs that support the nurse workforce.
The report must include recommendations on how to change the grant programs to (1) increase nurse faculty in underserved areas, (2) provide more pathways for experienced nurses to become faculty at schools of nursing, and (3) support pathways for licensed practical nurses to become registered nurses.
Face Value
as introducedHow much of this bill its name accounts for.
- Every bill starts at100
- Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.
Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out

Most filings say only that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took — where that's the case we say so rather than guessing. Quotes are verbatim from the filing. How this is built.
