What’s happening with Advancing VA’s Emergency Response to (AVERT) Crises Act of 2025?
The AVERT Crises Act of 2025, known as S. 2264, was reported out of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on March 17, 2026. The Senate must now hold a floor vote to move the bill forward, but limited time for debate remains the primary constraint. While reaching this committee milestone is a significant step that many bills fail to achieve, Senate leadership must still choose to prioritize this legislation for a final vote.
