     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brandon Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill modifies the regulatory requirement for referrals by commanding officers and supervisors of members of the Armed Forces for mental health evaluations. Specifically, the regulations must (1) establish a phrase that enables the member to trigger a referral for a mental health evaluation, (2) require a commanding officer or supervisor to make such referrals as soon as practicable following disclosure by the member of the established phrase, and (3) ensure that the process protects the confidentiality of the member.&lt;/p&gt;
