Bill overview
This bill, the Veteran Infection Prevention Act, aims to improve infection control within the Veterans Health Administration by requiring sterile processing technicians to hold professional certifications. Specifically, it mandates that technicians holding positions other than entry-level must be certified by an accredited institution within two years of their appointment. The bill also establishes a scholarship program to incentivize current employees to obtain these certifications and provides for a two-year period of obligated service for those receiving the scholarship.
