Likely to pass

This bill passed the House with broad support and addresses veteran healthcare, which is a high priority for both parties in the Senate.

Key Points

Students who receive VA scholarships for medical training will be guaranteed a job offer much faster. The VA must provide a full-time contract within 90 days of the student finishing their education and getting their professional license.
These new healthcare workers will be assigned to VA hospitals and clinics that need staff the most. The law ensures their pay and benefits are fair and match what other professionals in their field earn.
The bill also creates a total ban on smoking and vaping at all VA healthcare facilities. This includes all buildings and land owned by the Veterans Health Administration.
This ban applies to everyone on the property, including veterans, employees, and visitors. It covers traditional tobacco products like cigarettes and cigars as well as electronic devices like vape pens.
