Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2025

# Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would reauthorize and continue federal funding for Title VIII nursing programs, which support education and training for nurses in the United States. Title VIII is a longstanding federal program that provides grants to nursing schools and educational institutions to help train new nurses and expand the nursing workforce. The bill essentially renews this program's authority and funding, allowing it to continue operating rather than letting it expire. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects nursing schools, nursing students, and the broader healthcare workforce.

It could impact hospitals and healthcare facilities that rely on a steady supply of trained nurses, as well as communities that depend on adequate nursing staffing for healthcare services. States and educational institutions that receive federal nursing training grants would also be affected. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee review as of the 119th Congress, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative David Joyce, a Republican from Ohio.
