Bill 118 s 5142, also known as the Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. Traumatic Brain Injury Program Renaming Act, is a piece of legislation introduced by Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. The purpose of this bill is to rename the Traumatic Brain Injury Program within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the "Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. Traumatic Brain Injury Program" in honor of Congressman Pascrell's advocacy for individuals with traumatic brain injuries.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Program is a federal program that provides funding for research, prevention, and treatment of traumatic brain injuries.

This renaming act is a complete waste of time and taxpayer money. Why should we be focusing on changing the name of a program when there are so many other important issues that need to be addressed? It's ridiculous that this is even being considered....
