More VA transparency on toxic exposure
If enacted, the VA would have to publish on its public website a list of conditions and groups being reviewed for presumptions of service connection from toxic exposure. The list would explain the VA's review steps and time goals. For each condition or group, it would show current status and any notice or public-comment actions and tell the public how to send comments and recommendations. Publication would have to begin no later than 180 days after enactment. This would not change benefit eligibility or create new funding.
