Environmental Health Workforce Act of 2026

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create standards for training and certifying workers who focus on environmental health, and to make a plan to support the future needs of this workforce. It also directs a government watchdog agency to study how different states currently train and certify these workers. Additionally, the bill makes environmental-health workers eligible for a program that forgives their student loans if they work in public service.
