Protecting Survivors from Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2023

S 3144, the Protecting Survivors from Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2023, requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to collect data on brain injuries caused by domestic or sexual violence. The bill mandates HHS, through the CDC, to gather this data via existing surveys for at least two years, focusing on prevalence, circumstances, and privacy protection. It directs HHS to submit a report within three years analyzing the data and outlining steps to increase awareness, improve services, and address this public health issue. This law directly affects survivors of domestic and sexual violence by aiming to improve understanding and resource allocation for brain injuries resulting from such violence.
