The U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Kyle Mullen Naval Safety Enhancements” in response to the death of a Monmouth County Navy SEAL. 

Mullen, of Manalapan, died after completing what is known as “Hell Week” so that he could become a Navy SEAL.

The amendment aims to improve medical care and oversight for high-stress military training programs.

It also directs the Secretary of Defense to assess current standards and make recommendations for improved medical care for individuals in the Navy engaged in high-stress trainings to prevent long-term injury, illness and death. 

The amendment now moves to the Senate for a vote.
