Bill Summary
Jack Alderson Toxic Exposure Declassification Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Jack Alderson Toxic Exposure Declassification Act, requires the Secretary of Defense to declassify documents related to any known incident in which at least 100 members of the Armed Forces were exposed to a toxic substance that resulted in at least one case of a disability associated with that exposure. The declassification would be limited to information necessary for individuals who were potentially exposed to determine if they were exposed, the potential severity of their exposure, and any potential health conditions that may have resulted. The Secretary of Defense is not required to declassify documents if doing so would immediately threaten national security.
