Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization
Official title: To reauthorize and make improvements to Federal programs relating to the prevention, detection, and treatment of traumatic brain injuries, and for other purposes.
What this does
This bill reauthorizes and updates the federal traumatic brain injury programs run under the Public Health Service Act. It renames the national brain injury surveillance and registries program after Bill Pascrell, Jr., and directs the CDC to track prevalence, causes, and populations at higher risk and to publish aggregated data. It authorizes $9,250,000 a year for the CDC prevention and surveillance program and $13,118,000 a year for the state grant programs, each for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It adds a maintenance-of-effort requirement for state and Tribal grantees and lets the Secretary waive up to half of the matching-fund requirement. It orders two reports to Congress within two years, one on higher-risk populations and one on the long-term effects of brain injury.
