Allied Health Opportunity Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Allied Health Opportunity Act

This bill expands the scope of grants that support the allied health workforce and grants that support health profession opportunities for those from disadvantaged backgrounds (i.e., the Health Careers Opportunity Program). Specifically, it expands these programs to expressly include dual or concurrent enrollment programs (i.e., programs that enable high school students to enroll in postsecondary courses and earn transferable credits that apply towards the completion of a postsecondary degree or recognized educational credential.)
