One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Physicist Pay Cap Relief Act?
The effort to increase pay caps for medical physicists is stalled in the House as of June 5, 2025, and in the Senate as of February 3, 2026. The House Committee on Veterans Affairs must hold a hearing or vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees do not take action on them. This lack of committee movement is the primary barrier to progress for this legislation.
