BIAA Legislative Update November 2007
Congress passed the Fiscal Year 2008 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill this week, including some important funding increases for TBI programs, including the HRSA Federal TBI program and the TBI Model Systems of Care program.
The Labor-HHS-Education spending measure will now be sent to President Bush, who has pledged to veto it, because it contains $9.8 billion more than he requested in his budget earlier this year.
BIAA has also been busy on Capitol Hill working on several other issues this past week, including pushing for the inclusion of important TBI provisions in the final defense authorization bill.
