The House Armed Services Committee report includes an item titled “Assessment of Emerging Clinical Research for Treatment-Resistant PTSD” and directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2027 assessing Phase I Passage and Phase II Fortitude Trial data and its potential applicability to active-duty, reserve, and transitioning servicemembers, including safety, dosing, adverse event data, readiness, suicide prevention, legal/regulatory pathways, and pilot timelines.

GovInfo lists H.R. 9547 as introduced in the House on June 30, 2026 by Abraham J. Hamadeh of Arizona and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. The bill’s full title is to direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a report on emerging investigational treatment options for treatment-resistant PTSD in veterans, members of the Armed Forces, and members transitioning to civilian life.
Assessments
Hamadeh materially advanced the promised Pentagon-to-Congress PTSD treatment assessment during his same federal term by introducing H.R. 9547 and by securing or supporting closely matching committee-report language directing the Defense Department to provide a detailed assessment by February 1, 2027. However, the evidence shows referral and a committee directive, not enacted statutory language or a completed Pentagon report. Because the promised outcome has not yet been fully delivered, partial credit is appropriate rather than delivered.
