Voluntary Sharing of Veterans' Contact Information for Faith-Based Support.

This bill allows chaplains employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to share a patient's contact information with external religious or faith-based organizations. This sharing is strictly voluntary and requires the veteran's explicit choice and specification of the organization. The goal is to connect veterans with external spiritual and community support services to complement their medical treatment plan.
Key points
Veterans can voluntarily authorize VA chaplains to share their contact details with a specific religious organization of their choosing.
This process applies after a VA chaplain conducts a spiritual assessment intended to inform the veteran's medical treatment plan.
Contact information is only transmitted to non-VA organizations designated by the patient, ensuring privacy and control.
