Bill > HR4309

This bill establishes the National Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Clearinghouse, a centralized information resource about concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Secretary of Labor will jointly select one official to manage the clearinghouse, with the CDC Director automatically taking on the role if no agreement is reached within 60 days. The clearinghouse will provide high-quality, vetted information to medical professionals, patients, and other stakeholders, helping them access reliable best practices, medical knowledge, and research about concussions and TBIs. The designated federal official can distribute information through various channels, including nonprofit organizations, consumer groups, government agencies, and media outlets. The clearinghouse must be established within 120 days of the bill's enactment, and its primary goals are to improve medical care and support for individuals affected by concussions and traumatic brain injuries by creating a comprehensive, accessible information hub.
