Bill overview
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to create and submit a report to Congress about its efforts to inform veterans about potential exposure to herbicides used by the military between 1945 and 1977, not just in Vietnam. The report will detail the agency’s outreach programs and specifically whether they are offered in Spanish to reach a wider range of veterans. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure veterans have access to information regarding potential health risks associated with these exposures.
