What this bill would do

This bill establishes requirements for wellness checks to monitor the health and welfare of certain members of the Armed Forces. It mandates that the Secretary of Defense creates regulations to ensure checks occur when a member sustains a significant injury or illness or is on sick call. If electronic or telephone contact fails, the individual conducting the check must attempt an in-person meeting. Unit commanders are required to review critical information requirements and host confidential wellness meetings with medical officers. Additionally, the bill calls for the development of training courses to emphasize the importance of accountability regarding health and welfare.
