The Right to Representation for Department of Veterans Affairs Workers Act of 2025 gives most VA employees the right to have a representative of their choice present during examinations that could lead to disciplinary action against them. The law applies to regular VA staff but excludes senior executives, political appointees, and certain other specially appointed positions. Employees can request this representation, and if applicable, they can have their representative present during work hours. The bill amends federal law governing the Veterans Affairs Department and does not specify new funding or implementation timelines, instead requiring the VA Secretary to implement the representation rights policy.
