Bill > HR9511

This bill aims to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to establish a presumption that certain veterans were exposed to radiation and other toxins at the Nevada Test and Training Range. This would allow for easier treatment of certain disabilities related to this exposure under the laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The key provisions include: 1) Designating participation in the development, construction, operation, or maintenance of a military installation at the Nevada Test and Training Range as a "radiation-risk activity"; 2) Establishing a presumption of toxic exposure for veterans who performed military service at the Nevada Test and Training Range on or after January 1, 1972; and 3) Presuming service connection for certain conditions, such as lipomas and tumor-related conditions, for veterans who meet the criteria in the second provision.
