Introduced Feb 27, 2025 by Sen. Jerry Moran
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill expands the Scott Hannon Initiative for Precision Mental Health, a program at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Specifically, the bill expands the scope of the initiative by requiring the identification and validation of brain and mental health biomarkers among veterans for repetitive low-level blast exposure, dementia, and other such brain conditions. Currently, the initiative addresses several other conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The VA must work with the Department of Defense to establish a data-sharing partnership under the initiative.
The bill requires the VA to conduct various research studies about repetitive low-level blast exposure under the initiative.
