Public Law 117-69 is an act to codify maternity care coordination programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Section 3 directs VA to carry out the maternity care coordination program and authorizes $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2022.
Assessments
The promised outcome was fulfilled: Public Law 117-69, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act of 2021, codified VA maternity care coordination programs and authorized funding for FY2022. Schakowsky was serving in the House and voted yea on final House passage, so the delivery occurred during the same federal term context and she can receive candidate credit for supporting enactment.
