H.R. 728 would  amend  the Public Health Service Act to authorize and amend several grant
programs that support the education and training of nurses. In 2019, $221 million was
appropriated for those programs. The legislation would authorize the following amounts for
each year between 2020 and 2024:


$78 million for advanced education nursing grants,
$18 million for workforce diversity grants,
$44 million for nurse education, practice, and quality grants, and
$91 million for loan repayment and scholarship programs.


Based on historical spending for similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing the
legislation would cost $970 million over the 2020-2024 period, assuming appropriation of
authorized amounts. The remaining amounts  would be spent after 2024.

The costs of the legislation, detailed in Table 1, fall within budget function 550 (health).
