To direct the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit to Congress a report on the feasibility of establishing a pilot program that establishes a behavioral neurology fellowship program to provide training opportunities with respect to treating members of the Armed Forces and veterans with traumatic brain injuries.
This bill, HB9863, asks the Director of the Defense Health Agency to study the possibility of starting a special training program for doctors. This program would focus on treating traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in active military personnel and veterans. If it’s found to be feasible, it could become a pilot program.
The bill would mainly affect doctors who are training or already trained in behavioral neurology, as well as the military members and veterans who need this type of care. By offering specialized training, the bill aims to improve the quality of care for those suffering from TBIs.
HB9863 was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services on July 22, 2026. The bill is currently in its early stages, and further action will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
