What it does
This bill reauthorizes and updates the federal traumatic brain injury programs run under the Public Health Service Act.
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.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 2 quarterly reports filed by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q1. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
