Right to Representation for Department of Veterans Affairs Workers Act of 2025

This bill would add a new section to federal veterans law requiring the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to let Department of Veterans Affairs employees have a representative of their choice present during an examination. This applies when the employee believes the examination may lead to disciplinary action and the employee asks for representation. The representative may attend on duty time if applicable. Senior executives, political appointees, and certain employees appointed under specific sections of title 38 are not covered.
