Military Mental Health Professionals Support Act of 2023

This bill amends Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 523(b)(3) to explicitly include "licensed behavioral health providers" alongside medical officers. It directly affects military mental health professionals (such as psychologists and social workers) who hold state licenses. The key provision removes a barrier by exempting these licensed providers from numerical "strength limitations" that previously applied only to medical officers. This change allows the military to hire and retain more licensed mental health professionals without hitting specific staffing caps. The policy change streamlines access to care by expanding eligibility for these roles within military medical structures.
