AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, within one year, to let health records of deceased veterans and TRICARE beneficiaries be updated with observed health conditions and other relevant health information. The update could be made by a person the deceased chose ahead of time, or, if no one was chosen, by an immediate family member such as a spouse, parent, sibling, or adult child. The two departments would set up a process for people to make that choice. Any update would add to the existing records and could not change information already in them.
