Evidence
Sponsor: Rep. Elfreth, Sarah [D-MD-3] (Introduced 11/07/2025). Latest Action: House - 11/17/2025 Referred to the Subcommittee on Health. Tracker: Tip - This bill has the status Introduced.
On Veterans Day, Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and bipartisan Psychedelics Advancing Therapies (PATH) Caucus, introduced the bipartisan Transforming Healing, Resilience, and Integrative Veteran Engagement (THRIVE) Act alongside Representative Derrick Van Orden.
Assessments
Elfreth introduced the bipartisan THRIVE Act in the 119th Congress, which would direct VA to establish the promised Task Force on Complementary and Integrative Health and Whole Health. However, the bill remained introduced and referred to committee as of the cited congressional action, so the task force had not yet been established. Because she is still in active federal office and the measure remains pending rather than definitively failed, the proper status is unresolved with credit for a serious same-term effort.
