Rep. Kelly’s bipartisan Action for Dental Health Act passes committee
WASHINGTON - Today, the Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously passed U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly's (IL-02) Action for Dental Health Act. The bill, introduced last March with U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson (ID-02), reauthorizes important programs to continue advancing workforce training and community-based oral health initiatives reaching those in need in rural and urban areas.
"Everyone deserves access to affordable dental healthcare, no matter where they live," said Rep. Kelly. "Oral health is crucial to overall health, and it also reduces the number of emergency room visits. I'm proud to lead this reauthorization effort for the third time and strongly urge Speaker Johnson to bring this to the House floor."
The bipartisan Action for Dental Health Act is endorsed by the American Dental Association.
