New Traumatic Brain Injury Legislation Introduced

On Thursday the top Democrat and top Republican on the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs joined forces to introduce new legislation which will help veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries.

The Veterans Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2007 (S. 1233), introduced by Sens. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and Larry Craig (R-Idaho), would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide every veteran who has an inpatient stay for a TBI with an individual plan for rehabilitation and reintegration. It would also require the establishment a research, clinical care, and education program for TBI.

The legislation also would require that VA officials send a veteran to a private care if VA cannot provide it, and it calls for the creation of a pilot program for assisted living for veterans with severe traumatic brain injuries. Read more at veterans.senate.gov.
