## Provisions PRIA read

- Wider definition of Agent Orange exposure: benefit, medium. The bill would broaden what counts as Agent Orange. Any chemical that became part of herbicides used in support of U.S. and allied operations in Vietnam would count. This could let more exposed people qualify for help under the Act. The change would take effect upon enactment.
- Help in Vietnam for Agent Orange victims: benefit, medium. USAID would provide care and support in Vietnam for people harmed by Agent Orange. Help could include medical care, rehab, caregiver training, home repairs, and small grants or loans. Cleanup would focus on areas with high contamination, with priority for heavily sprayed zones and former bases. Who…

Grants would fund broad health studies of Vietnamese Americans and their children or descendants. Th…
- Deadlines to start new services: benefit, low. USAID and HHS would have 180 days after enactment to finish their plans. They would need to launch the programs within 18 months. This would speed when services could start but does not set funding by itself.
