## Summary

**Bars proof of a specific radiation dose to qualify veterans as radiation-exposed.** This bill would add a new paragraph to 38 U.S.C. 1112(c) that prevents the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from conditioning a veteran's radiation-exposed status on evidence that the veteran received a particular level or dose of radiation. The change is narrowly focused on removing a dose-threshold evidentiary requirement and does not create new programs or new eligibility categories.
