Bill Summary
A bill to provide for an Atomic Veterans Service Medal.
AI Summary
This bill mandates the creation of an "Atomic Veterans Service Medal" by the Secretary of Defense to honor retired and former members of the Armed Forces who are considered "radiation-exposed veterans," a term defined in existing law (specifically, section 1112(c)(3) of title 38, United States Code) as individuals exposed to ionizing radiation during their military service. The medal will be issued upon request to living radiation-exposed veterans, and the Secretary may also issue it to the next-of-kin of deceased radiation-exposed veterans. To facilitate this, the Secretary will develop and distribute an application process for veterans and their families to apply for the medal.
