United States119th CongressS-2061Senate
Updated: Mar 18, 2026

Summary

This bill amends existing law to require the Interagency Working Group on Toxic Exposure and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry to undertake specific research initiatives. Within 180 days of enactment, these entities must establish an interagency task force dedicated to studying the health conditions of descendants whose veteran parents were exposed to toxic substances during military service. The research will focus on improving the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. A key provision mandates the maintenance of a publicly available website to disseminate information and findings from this research. This website must include a review of all relevant data to assess the strength of evidence linking specific health conditions in descendants to parental toxic exposure risk activities. Additionally, the bill updates reporting requirements for the Working Group, necessitating an initial report within one year of enactment. Subsequent annual reports are required for a five-year period, detailing collaborative research activities, findings, and providing recommendations for legislative or administrative actions to enhance interagency research efforts.
