In plain English
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) introduced this bill to address toxic exposures affecting veterans who served at specific military locations. The bill requires the Department of Defense to work with the VA to identify and track these veterans, establishes a registry for affected veterans, classifies certain facilities as locations with toxic exposure risks, and creates a presumption that veterans who served at covered locations were exposed to radiation or other toxic substances. The bill also directs a study on toxic exposures at these covered locations and treats the exposures as radiation-risk activities under VA benefits rules.
