Legislative Action
Laura Schiebelhut of the BIAA encourages all of us to take action by urging Adoption of Higher Funding Allocation for TBI Programs in Senate Version of FY08 Labor-HHS-Education Spending Bill.
The Senate is expected to consider its version of the Fiscal Year 2008 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill later this week (Week of October 15, 2007). Consideration on the Senate floor is then to be followed by a formal conference between the House and Senate to determine final funding allocations in the bill, although informal conference negotiations have already likely begun. Please urge your representatives in Congress to support the highest possible funding in a final Labor-HHS-Education conference bill for TBI-specific programs housed within HRSA and CDC.
