Bill overview
This bill, the Susan E. Lukas 9/11 Servicemember Fairness Act, creates a presumption of service connection for certain illnesses that may have been caused or worsened by exposure to toxins at the Pentagon Reservation following the September 11th, 2001 attacks. It applies to veterans who served at the Pentagon Reservation between September 11th and November 19th, 2001, and who develop conditions like asthma, COPD, cancer, or cardiovascular diseases. This means that if a veteran develops one of these illnesses, it will be presumed to be related to their service, even if there’s no prior medical record of the condition.
