Improves how the Department of Veterans Affairs handles disability claims related to military sexual trauma (MST). It requires annual sensitivity and trauma‑informed training for VA staff who process these claims and strengthens the VA’s duty to gather service records that can support MST claims.
It also orders the VA to report to Congress within 90 days on current training for both VA staff and contracted medical examiners, to update staff training at least once a year, and to plan upgrades to contractor training to avoid retraumatizing veterans during exams.
On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended Agreed to by voice vote. (text: CR H2130-2131)
