As the 1st Session of the 112th Congress winds down, there is still time for the Senate to pass important legislation, H.R. 2074, the Veterans Sexual Assault Prevention and Health Care Enhancement Act. We need you to take action now by emailing your Senators and urging them to bring this bill up for a vote before the end of the year.
H.R. 2074 would require VA to establish a comprehensive policy on the reporting, tracking and prevention of sexual assault and other safety incidents at VA medical facilities to protect veterans, employees and visitors at VA facilities.
This legislation also contains a vitally important provisions to aid seriously disabled veterans seeking long term care at State Veterans Homes, strengthen VA's rehabilitation plans for veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI), ensure access to VA facilities for veterans who rely on service dogs, and examine the effectiveness of dog training therapy as a component of VA's mental health treatment, particularly for PTSD.
Please use the prepared email to contact your Senators immediately and request that they bring H.R. 2074 to the Senate floor and vote to pass it before the end of year.
Thanks for continuing to stand up for veterans. |
