Veterans with ALS Reporting Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, working with the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to send Congress a report on ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) within one year. The report would assess how common ALS is among veterans, describe current support for veterans with ALS and any gaps in it, and lay out strategies to test ways to lower ALS rates and to help veterans join VA clinical trials. The Secretary would also track ALS among veterans using the CDC's ALS registry and biorepository. Updated reports would be due three years after the law takes effect and every three years after that.
