H.R. 7289 is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on January 30, 2026, by Ms. Johnson of Texas. It would update the Public Health Service Act to create a new advisory committee focused on training at community health centers. The 15-member committee would include health professionals, a community health center patient, and people from both urban and rural areas. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill could affect how community health centers in Houston train their staff. Houstonians who use these clinics for care may want to know if federal rules around worker training change.
