BIAA Legislative Update March 2008a

Posted on March 16, 2008 by Tim Titolo

This week was an another extremely eventful one on Capitol Hill, including passage of legislation to reauthorize the TBI Act by the full House Energy and Commerce Committee!
On Tuesday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health approved the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008 (H.R. 1418) and forwarded it on for consideration by the full Committee.


Yesterday afternoon, the full Energy and Commerce Committee passed the bill, and the legislation is expected to be brought up on suspension for consideration on the House floor when Congress reconvenes after a two-week recess set to begin on Monday, March 17.


Also this week, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) joined the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, and a variety of other advocacy groups, in successfully conducting Brain Injury Awareness Day on Capitol Hill. The day’s events drew the participation of several Members of Congress and their staff.
