What this amendment would do

SA 3198, submitted by Ms. Blunt Rochester, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296 regarding reports on the Exceptional Family Member Program.

The purpose of this amendment is to require the Secretary of Defense to provide an annual report to congressional defense committees. This report must include:

  • Identification of military installations where medical or educational services for Program participants are unavailable, significantly limited, or have significant barriers to access.

  • Recommendations to fix these barriers, such as service expansion plans and relocation assistance.

  • Recommendations for better case management and resources for members transitioning out of the Armed Forces who have a family member in the Program.

  • An assessment of how mandatory screening for assignments within the continental United States would impact access to services and career opportunities.

  • The metrics and current levels used by the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense to measure the success of the Program.
