What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Standardizing Treatment and Referral Times Act of 2025'', seeks to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It specifically addresses the Department of Veterans Affairs Community Care Program. The legislation aims to establish a specific timeframe for when a referral becomes valid. Currently, the bill proposes that the period of validity begins on the day a covered veteran has their first appointment with a non-Department provider.
