Dennis John Benigno Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill renews federal traumatic brain injury programs run by the Department of Health and Human Services, extending their funding authorization for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It expands data collection to include higher-risk groups, causes and risk factors, a person's occupation when relevant, and short- and long-term outcomes, and requires the CDC to post aggregated brain injury and concussion information online. It changes state grant rules by requiring states and American Indian consortiums to keep up their own spending and by letting the Secretary waive up to half of required matching funds. It also requires a report to Congress on higher-risk populations and a study of long-term symptoms and conditions linked to traumatic brain injury, both within 2 years.
