SAFE STEPS for Veterans Act of 2025
Introduced May 5, 2025 by Rep. Nikki Budzinski
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill addresses certain mobility and aging care and services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
First, the bill requires the establishment and operation of the Office of Falls Prevention within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for purposes of providing, evaluating, and improving VA health care services related to falls prevention.
Among other duties, the office must oversee and support a national education campaign for veterans, their families, and health care providers that focuses on reducing falls and increases awareness of available benefits or services provided by the VA to reduce falls.
The bill also expands membership of the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Healthy Aging and Age-Friendly Communities by including the VA.
