What it would do
- The bill would make the VA secretary responsible for expanded reports on women veterans, rather than changing care requirements.
- Reports would cover enrollment, appointments, wait times, travel times, and access to services specific to women.
- They would describe staffing gaps, provider training, referrals, and care related to toxic exposure.
- They would also cover diseases affecting women veterans and, where practical, benefits use, claims, and appeals.
- The secretary could combine required reports if all required information remains and delays do not exceed 30 days.
- Combining reports would require notifying congressional committees and waiting 45 days.
