What this amendment would do

SA 3910, submitted by Mr. Booker, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296. The purpose of this addition is to require a study on health conditions affecting the spouses and dependents of Vietnam-era herbicide-exposed veterans.

  • Cancers
  • Gynecological conditions, such as infertility
  • Birth defects
  • Birth and pregnancy-related complications, such as miscarriages

Reporting and Accountability

The amendment sets specific deadlines and requirements for reporting the results:

  • The Working Group must give a report to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs containing a summary of research and recommendations for better screening, detection, prevention, and treatment.

  • By December 31, 2027, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs must provide the Senate and House Committees on Veterans' Affairs with an unaltered version of that report and a plan to implement the recommendations.
