The VHA OPEN Policies Act of 2026 requires the Veterans Health Administration to publish all of its national policies online and make them publicly accessible to veterans and the general public. Within 90 days of the bill's enactment, the VA must post directives, handbooks, memoranda, and guidance documents on a dedicated website, ensuring transparency about how VHA programs operate and are implemented. Going forward, any new or revised policies must be added to the website within 30 days of their creation or change. The legislation affects veterans, VA employees, healthcare providers, and anyone seeking to understand VHA procedures and requirements. There is no specific funding amount mentioned in the bill, as it primarily mandates the consolidation and publication of existing policy documents rather than establishing new programs.
