Bill overview

The Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2024 establishes a new advisory committee within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to improve accessibility for veterans with disabilities. Before forming this committee, the VA must eliminate or merge inactive advisory committees. The committee will advise the Secretary on improving access to VA information, services, benefits, and facilities, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, and making recommendations for future improvements. It will also submit regular reports to Congress and the public outlining accessibility challenges and proposed solutions.
