Cosponsors: a group of 60 MPs 

Status: preparations for consideration 

Who is affected: service members, law enforcement officers, state and municipal medical establishments, and medical establishments of law enforcement agencies 

Summary of the bill: 

• it will be allowed to establish military medical commissions at medical establishments of law enforcement agencies 
• it will be allowed to establish military medical commissions at state and municipal medical establishments 
• military medical commissions created at state and municipal medical establishments and medical establishments of law enforcement agencies will be authorized to conduct military medical examinations and determine: 
  • whether a person is fit for military service 
  • whether diseases, injuries, and traumas were received by a person in the line of military duty 
  • whether a service member is in need of rehabilitation or other medical assistance.
