Veterans: Specialized Prosthetics for Sports and Recreation

Law

This bill, introduced by Banks and King, would change the law to make sure the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays for specialized artificial limbs and equipment used for sports and hobbies.
Currently, the VA provides standard artificial limbs for daily life, but this plan specifically adds adaptive prostheses meant for physical activities like running, cycling, or other recreational sports.
The goal is to help veterans stay active and participate in recreational therapy, which can improve both their physical health and mental well-being after an injury.
If passed, eligible veterans who lost limbs during their service would have easier access to the specific gear they need to get back into the sports and activities they love.
