BIAA Legislative Update March 2008
Earlier this evening, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health approved the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008 and forwarded it on for consideration by the full Committee. The bill which was passed by the Subcommittee tonight was a slightly amended version of H.R. 1418.
The bill is now ready to be taken up by the full House Energy and Commerce Committee. This is a very positive development towards the goal of getting the TBI Act reauthorized before the end of this year, and a very exciting development for Brain Injury Awareness Month!
The Brain Injury Association of America is a strong lobby in Washington, DC for the rights of the Brain Injured. The BIAAs efforts are to applauded and supported.
The BIAA is sponsoring an educational conference in Las Vegas next month. To learn more click here.
