Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2024
Would have required the VA to create a 15-member advisory committee on making its services accessible to people with disabilities.
Tradeoff
Would have set up a new VA advisory committee that meets at least twice a year. Would also have required the VA to first close or merge inactive advisory committees.
