Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals. It creates grants, an education and awareness campaign, best-practice guidance, and federal evaluation to reduce suicide risk, stigma, and barriers to care. - Health care professionals: Funds training, suicide-prevention best practices, and a national campaign to reduce stigma and encourage use of mental health and substance use disorder services. - Students and institutions: Hospitals, health professions schools, community health centers, rural health clinics, professional associations, tribal organizations, and government entities can get grants for training and capacity building. Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication.

117-hr-1448, PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act
This law creates a Department of Veterans Affairs pilot to provide canine training therapy for veterans diagnosed with post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot must start within 180 days, run five years, and operate at at least five VA medical centers in geographically diverse locations, and the law also requires the VA to provide a commercially available veterinary insurance policy for dogs given to eligible veterans. - Veterans: Eligible veterans with PTSD can join a program that trains them to work with service dogs and may adopt a trained dog if it is clinically appropriate. Participation does not stop veterans from getting other VA PTSD care. - Service dog training organizations: The VA may contract with accredited nongovernmental trainers. Contracts must require certified instructors, forbid shock or prong collars, use positive reinforcement, prevent unsupervised access to trained dogs, tailor training to PTSD symptoms, and provide follow‑up support including lifelong help if adoption occurs. - Oversight and evidence: The VA will collect data on participation, veteran satisfaction, and clinical improvements. The VA must arrange a Government Accountability Office briefing within one year of the pilot start and a GAO report within 270 days after the pilot ends.
117-hr-5313, Reese's Law
Reduce child ingestion of button cell and coin batteries. This law requires strong safety and packaging rules to cut the risk children face from swallowing these small batteries and to put clearer warnings on products and packaging. - Families and children: A performance standard must secure battery compartments to eliminate or meaningfully reduce ingestion risk for children 6 years of age or younger. Warning labels must identify the ingestion hazard and tell consumers to keep new and used batteries out of reach and to seek immediate medical attention if ingestion occurs. - Manufacturers, importers, and retailers: Any button cell or coin battery sold or included with a product must be packaged to child-resistant standards and tested according to the Commission’s rules. Products containing these batteries must include required warnings in packaging, instructions, and on the product when practicable. - Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC): The CPSC must issue a final safety standard within 1 year but may accept a voluntary standard that meets the law within 180 days and treat that voluntary standard as a rule. - Exemptions: Toy products that meet battery accessibility and labeling rules in 16 C.F.R. part 1250 and batteries that comply with the ANSI C18.3M marking and packaging standard are exempt.
