Veterans SPORT Act
This bill amends VA medical coverage to explicitly include adaptive prostheses and terminal devices designed for sports and recreational activities alongside standard artificial limbs. It directly affects eligible veterans using prosthetic devices who wish to participate in sports or recreational therapy. The key provision expands existing VA coverage under 38 U.S.C. §1701 to cover these specific adaptive devices without requiring separate authorization. This change ensures veterans can access equipment for recreational purposes through the VA's standard medical services. The bill does not create new benefits but clarifies and broadens existing coverage for a defined category of prosthetic devices.
