Bill 118 hr 1957, also known as the "Limitation on Availability of Funds for Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration Health Care Systems for Fiscal Year 2024," aims to place restrictions on the amount of funds that can be allocated to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal year 2024.

The bill seeks to limit the availability of funds for HRSA's health care systems, which includes programs and services that support health care delivery in underserved communities, rural areas, and among vulnerable populations. By placing a cap on the funds that can be used by HRSA, the bill aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently and effectively within the agency.
