Smitty Check Act: In-Person Wellness Checks for All Service Members
Representative Jodey Arrington introduces the Smitty Check Act, aiming to mandate in-person wellness checks for injured or ill service members across all branches of the Department of Defense. This bill honors Private Second Class Caleb Smither, who tragically passed away due to lack of physical check-ups after his head injury. Arringtons previous efforts led to the Smitty Check protocol, and now this act seeks to extend these safeguards to every branch, ensuring no service member is overlooked.
