In Committee
Summary
Expands VA coverage to include adaptive prostheses and sports and recreational terminal devices. The Veterans SPORT Act would amend 38 U.S.C. 1701 to insert the parenthetical phrase "(including adaptive prostheses and terminal devices for sports and other recreational activities)" immediately after "artificial limbs." That change would let eligible veterans obtain prosthetic devices designed for sports and other recreational activities through Department of Veterans Affairs medical services.
