HR 3011 United States House · 118th Congress

To establish a task force of the Department of Defense on mental health.

HR 3011 establishes a 15-member task force within the Department of Defense to review and assess mental health services for active-duty military members, reservists, and their families. The task force, requiring half DOD personnel (including service surgeons and family members) and half external experts (like VA and SAMHSA staff), must submit a report within 12 months detailing improvements needed in areas like access to care, telehealth, reducing stigma, and transitioning care to veterans' services. The report will include specific recommendations for legislative or administrative changes, followed by annual progress reports to Congress over five years on implementing those recommendations. This bill creates a review mechanism but does not directly change existing mental health programs or funding.
