HB 878 -- Health Professional Shortage Areas

Sponsor:  Hobbs

This bill creates the Missouri Healthcare Access Fund to be used
to expand healthcare services in state and federally designated
areas with healthcare shortages.  The Department of Health and
Senior Services has the authority to designate eligible
facilities in an area of defined need and is required to
re-evaluate eligible facilities every six years.  Beginning
January 1, 2007, individuals making a donation in excess of $100
to the fund will be eligible for a tax credit.

The provisions of the bill will expire six years from the
effective date.
