He also submitted statements from Jason Simcakoski's family to the record during the I am honored to work with Jason's family to tell his story and make sure no other family has to go through what they have. Today's hearing was a positive step forward in building support for my bipartisan legislation, the Jason Simcakoski PROMISE Act, which works to give our veterans the care they have earned and deserve, Rep. Kind stated. Rep. Kind is working with Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) on Jason Simcakoski PROMISE Act that would fix some of the problems seen at the Tomah VA and look into improved pain management practices. The legislation is expected to be introduced soon, and would be similar to the Senate's Jason Simcakoski Memorial Opioid Safety Act. Watch video of Rep.
