To amend title 38, United States Code, to include a representative of the National Association of State Veterans Homes on the Geriatrics and Gerontology Advisory Committee of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
This bill amends federal law to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to include a representative from the National Association of State Veterans Homes on its Geriatrics and Gerontology Advisory Committee. The representative must hold a professional license in nursing home administration and the VA must consult with the president of the National Association of State Veterans Homes on matters affecting that organization. The change affects how the VA's advisory committee is composed, ensuring that state-run veterans homes have a voice in decisions about elderly and aging veterans care. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines. This legislation aims to improve coordination between federal VA leadership and state-operated veterans homes on issues related to geriatric and gerontological services.
