Unlikely to pass

While supporting military families is popular, many bills introduced in the House never make it out of committee for a full vote.

Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Defense to create a public database listing every service member who died in a non-combat military plane crash. It will include records dating back to 1984 and earlier if information is available from other groups.
Families of those killed in these crashes would get a dedicated point of contact at the Department of Defense. This person would help them find financial aid, counseling, and other benefits they might not know they are eligible for.
The program aims to connect grieving families with peer support networks. This allows people who have lost loved ones in similar accidents to meet and share their experiences.
The Department of Defense must report back to Congress within two years. They will need to show how many families they have helped and how much of the database has been completed.
