Executive Mental Competency Protection Act of 2023

HR 1528, the Executive Mental Competency Protection Act of 2023, requires the President's physician to conduct an annual cognitive evaluation covering 12 areas like memory, reasoning, attention, and mood. The results must be posted on the White House website, overriding standard HIPAA privacy rules. If the President misses the January 1 evaluation deadline, no federal funds may be used for their travel during that fiscal year. This bill directly affects the sitting President by mandating regular cognitive assessments and transparency, with a specific funding penalty for noncompliance. It creates a concrete policy requirement for the executive branch's health transparency.
