Abstract
(HB5457 · 103rd Legislature) Military affairs: other; hyperbaric oxygen therapy pilot program; establish. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5456’26 Latest action (2026-06-23): Referred To Committee On Health Policy
Why this matters
A hyperbaric oxygen therapy pilot under military affairs would open a new state-supported treatment pathway, most likely for veterans and service members with TBI, PTSD, or related conditions not consistently covered by existing insurance or VA benefits. Establishing it as a standalone act (HB 5457) paired with HB 5456 signals a durable statutory framework rather than a one-time appropriation, shaping who gains access to this therapy in Michigan’s safety-net landscape.
