AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the 2022 PACT Act section that created the Interagency Working Group on Toxic Exposure. It allows the Working Group to set up federal interagency task forces to do joint research. Within 180 days, the Working Group and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry must create a task force to study the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in descendants of veterans exposed to toxic substances. They must also keep a public website on the task force's work, including reviews of evidence linking health conditions to toxic exposure. The bill also changes the Working Group's reports, requiring a report within one year and yearly updates on its research and strategic plan.
