They advocate for the passage of the Veterans' ACCESS Act, which would codify access to community care into law
Support passage of the Veterans' ACCESS Act to codify veterans' access to community care into law.
Occurrences
Evidence
House committee leaders said the negotiated veterans package includes H.R. 740, the Veterans' ACCESS Act, and that they have a path forward to pass it.
The introduced bill text says it would codify Veterans Community Care eligibility standards and notes that Mr. Bost introduced the bill and it was referred to committee.
Assessments
Bost materially advanced the Veterans' ACCESS Act by introducing it and backing it in a committee-led veterans package, but the evidence shows only introduction and negotiation, not enactment into law. Because the claim is about passage of the bill into law and there is no evidence that happened, this is an unsuccessful but serious legislative attempt rather than a delivered promise.
