Expanding Mental Health Access for Cyber Command Personnel Act

# Expanding Mental Health Access for Cyber Command Personnel Act **What the Bill Does** This bill would expand mental health services and support for military personnel who work in U.S. Cyber Command, the branch responsible for military cybersecurity operations. The legislation aims to improve access to mental health care and counseling services specifically for these cyber operations personnel, recognizing the unique stressors and demands of their work. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily impacts military members assigned to Cyber Command positions.

It may also affect the Department of Defense, which would need to implement expanded mental health services, and potentially their families who could benefit from related support programs. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (HR 6630, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. It was sponsored by Representative Sarah Elfreth (D-MD). As with many bills at the committee stage, its future passage is uncertain.
