About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 23, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
The Parity for Native Hawaiian Veterans Act of 2024 would expand Department of Veterans Affairs benefits specifically for Native Hawaiian veterans in two main ways. First, it would modify the VA's direct housing loan program to include Native Hawaiians by updating the definition of who qualifies, aligning it with the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996. Second, it would require the VA to reimburse Native Hawaiian health care systems for medical services provided to eligible veterans and would exempt Native Hawaiian veterans from cost-sharing requirements for VA medical care. The bill directly affects Native Hawaiian veterans seeking housing assistance and medical services through the VA. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the legislation.
