Timely Agreements Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to approve or reject, within 60 calendar days, a State Veterans Home's proposal for an agreement to buy pharmaceuticals or durable medical equipment through the VA. If the VA does not decide by that date, the proposal would be treated as approved. The VA would have to accept proposals by hand delivery, mail, fax, email, and other methods, and would have to publish a standard proposal template within 180 days of enactment. The bill also says that a State home providing care to an eligible veteran without an agreement in place may not, for that reason alone, be cited for an inspection violation or deficiency.
