Bill > S89

This bill establishes an acquired brain injury advisory board in Massachusetts. The board will collaborate with various state agencies, legislators, individuals with acquired brain injuries and their families, providers, clinicians, and advocacy groups to review, advise, and report on services, supports, and public policies for individuals with acquired brain injuries and their families. The advisory board will consist of members from the state legislature, executive branch agencies, and representatives from the brain injury community, including individuals with acquired brain injuries, family members, and service providers. The board's directives include reviewing data on acquired brain injuries, monitoring the implementation of previous commission recommendations, advising on the state's brain injury plan, and reviewing ongoing state initiatives and funding. The board will file a biennial report on the status of progress made in increasing access to services and implementing previous recommendations.
