End Veterans Overdose Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to offer opioid overdose rescue medications, such as naloxone, at VA pharmacies to eligible veterans and their enrolled caregivers at no charge and without a prescription. People who receive the medication would also get information on how to use it. The VA could collect only the personal information needed to provide the medication, and could not use that information to keep a veteran from a job or as evidence of drug use or addiction. The VA would report to Congress on how many people received the medication, usage trends, and whether to expand the program to family members and non-VA providers.
