To amend the Public Health Service Act with respect to providing financial assistance for certain trauma-care centers operating in geographic areas with a significant incidence of violence arising from the abuse of drugs.
Trauma-Care Center Revitalization Act of 1990 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants for the operating expenses of trauma-care centers with substantial uncompensated costs in areas with significant violence arising from drug abuse.
Gives priority to centers: (1) receiving State or political subdivision support not connected to any Federal program; or (2) in areas where a trauma center has ceased participation, or because of uncompensated costs will be unable to participate, in the trauma care system. Limits support for a center to three years, subject to extension by the Secretary for one additional year. Authorizes appropriations.
