The legislation, which was introduced Sept. 21, provides funding for an oral health workforce grant program for underserved communities, according to an Oct. 3 news release from the ADA, which has shown its support.
The act is sponsored by Sen. Cory Booker and co-sponsored by Sen. Ted Budd and Sen. Mazie Hirono.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously voted to advance the bill to the House floor for consideration in July.
