Bill > S1828

This bill, the Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2023, aims to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to recognize nurse registries for the purposes of the Veterans Community Care Program. The key provisions of the bill are: (1) it defines a "nurse registry" as a person that procures contracts or agreements on behalf of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, companions, or homemakers, and satisfies any applicable state licensure requirements; and (2) it adds nurse registries to the list of eligible providers under the Veterans Community Care Program, allowing veterans to access a broader range of in-home healthcare services.
