Representing our Seniors at VA Act of 2026
Sponsored By: Representative Kiggans (VA)
In Committee
Summary
Broadens the VA geriatrics advisory committee's membership. This bill would add three membership requirements to the Department of Veterans Affairs Geriatrics and Gerontology Advisory Committee. It would require at least one representative from a national veterans service organization, at least one person who has served veterans or their families in a State veterans home, and at least one individual with a professional license in nursing home administration. It also restructures the statute by numbering the first three sentences as paragraphs to clarify the committee's composition. The change aims to bring national advocacy, State home experience, and nursing home credentialing into VA geriatrics and gerontology advice.
