The state will provide $1 million in grants through the Department of Health to help people purchase and operate telehealth kiosks—self-service terminals where people can access remote medical services and health information—in public locations. Priority for these grants goes to counties with small populations (15,000 or fewer) that have below-average life expectancy, or communities that lack easy access to doctors. The Department of Health will set up an application process for people interested in getting these grants.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
