OBLIGATED SERVICE FOR MENTAL HEALTH TRAINEESHIPS
SEC. 803. (a) Section 303 of the Public Health Service Act is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: "(d)(1) Any individual who has received a clinical traineeship, in psychology, psychiatry, nursing, or social work, under subsection (a)(1) that was not of a limited duration or experimental nature (as determined by the Secretary) is obligated to serve, in service determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in the light of the individual's training and experience, at the rate of one year for each year (or academic year, whichever the Secretary determines to be appropriate) of the traineeship. "(2) The service required under paragraph (1) shall be performed— "(A) for a public inpatient mental institution providing inpatient care or any entity receiving a grant under the Mental Health Systems Act, "(B) in a health manpower shortage area (as determined under subpart II of part D of this title), or "(C) in any other area or for any other entity designated by the Secretary, and shall begin within such period after the termination of the traineeship as the Secretary may determine. In developing criteria for determining for which institutions or entities or in which areas, referred to in the preceding sentence, individuals must perform service under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall give preference to institutions, entities, or areas which in his judgment have the greatest need for personnel to perform that service. The Secretary may permit service for or in other institutions, entities, or areas if the Secretary determines that the request for such service is supported by good cause. "(3) Any individual who fails to perform the service required under this subsection within the period prescribed by the Secretary is obligated to repay to the United States an amount equal to three times the cost of the traineeship (including stipends and allowances) plus interest at the maximum legal rate at the time of payment of the traineeship, multiplied, in any case in which the service so required has been performed in part, by the percentage which the length of the service not so performed is of the length of the service so required to be performed. "(4)(A) In the case of any individual any part of whose obligation to perform service under this subsection exists at the same time as any part of the individual's obligation to perform service under section 752 or 753 (because of receipt of a scholarship under subpart IV of part C of title VII) or the individual's obligation to perform service under section 472 (because of receipt of a National Research Service
