                                 A BILL


 
   To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a pilot 
program to provide access to magnetic EEG/EKG-guided resonance therapy 
                              to veterans.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``No Hero Left Untreated Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Magnetic EEG/EKG-guided resonance therapy has 
        successfully treated more than 400 veterans with post-traumatic 
        stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual 
        trauma, chronic pain, and opiate addiction.
            (2) Recent clinical trials and randomized, placebo-
        controlled, double-blind studies have produced promising 
        measurable outcomes in the evolution of magnetic EEG/EKG-guided 
        resonance therapy.
            (3) The outcomes described in paragraph (2) have resulted 
        in escalating demand from returning members of the Armed Forces 
        and veterans who are seeking access to magnetic EEG/EKG-guided 
        resonance therapy.
            (4) Congress recognizes the importance of initiating 
        innovative pilot programs that demonstrate the use and 
        effectiveness of new treatment options for post-traumatic 
        stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual 
        trauma, chronic pain, and opiate addiction.

SEC. 3. MAGNETIC EEG/EKG-GUIDED RESONANCE THERAPY PILOT PROGRAM.

    (a) Pilot Program.--Commencing not later than 90 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
shall carry out a pilot program to provide access to magnetic EEG/EKG-
guided resonance therapy to treat veterans suffering from post-
traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual 
trauma, chronic pain, or opiate addiction.
    (b) Locations.--The Secretary shall carry out the pilot program 
under subsection (a) at not more than two facilities of the Department 
of Veterans Affairs.
    (c) Participants.--In carrying out the pilot program under 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall provide access to magnetic EEG/EKG-
guided resonance therapy to not more than 50 veterans.
    (d) Duration.--The Secretary shall carry out the pilot program 
under subsection (a) for a one-year period.
    (e) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the termination of the

Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives a report on the pilot

section. Such requirements shall be carried out using amounts 
authorized under provisions of law other than this section.
