Prohibiting VA Funds for Southern Border Emergency Aid from Public Health Order Repeal

This bill aims to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from using its funds for emergency assistance at the southern U.S. border, specifically if such assistance results from the repeal of certain public health orders. This means that resources allocated for veterans cannot be diverted to manage border situations arising from changes in public health policy, potentially impacting the availability of funds for veterans' services.
Key points
The Department of Veterans Affairs is prohibited from spending funds on emergency assistance at the southern border if it directly results from the repeal of specific public health orders.
The prohibition applies to aid linked to the repeal of particular public health directives, including those issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021 and 2022.
The bill does not prevent the VA from providing other types of emergency assistance at the southern border not related to the repeal of these public health orders.
