MAXIMIZING OUTCOMES THROUGH BETTER INVESTMENTS IN LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT 
                      FOR (MOBILE) HEALTH CARE ACT

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 441, S. 958.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 958) to amend the Public Health Service Act to 
     expand the allowable use criteria for new access points 
     grants for community health centers.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill, 
which had been reported from the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, 
and Pensions, with an amendment to strike all after the enacting clause 
and insert in lieu thereof the following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Maximizing Outcomes through 
     Better Investments in Lifesaving Equipment for (MOBILE) 
     Health Care Act''.

     SEC. 2. NEW ACCESS POINTS GRANTS.

       (a) In General.--Section 330(e)(6)(A) of the Public Health 
     Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b(e)(6)(A)) is amended by adding at 
     the end the following:
       ``(v) Mobile units.--An existing health center may be 
     awarded funds under clause (i) to establish a new delivery 
     site that is a mobile unit, regardless of whether the 
     applicant additionally proposes to establish a permanent, 
     full-time site. In the case of a health center that is not 
     currently receiving funds under this section, such health 
     center may be awarded funds under clause (i) to establish a 
     new delivery site that is a mobile unit only if such health 
     center uses a portion of such funds to also establish a 
     permanent, full-time site.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     shall take effect on January 1, 2024.

  Mr. SCHUMER. I ask unanimous consent that the committee-reported 
substitute amendment be considered and agreed to; that the bill, as 
amended, be considered read a third time and passed; and that the 
motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The committee-reported amendment, in the nature of a substitute, was 
agreed to.
  The bill (S. 958), as amended, was ordered to be engrossed for a 
third reading, was read the third time, and passed.
