To amend title 38, United States Code, to direct the Chairman of the Board of Veterans' Appeals to give priority to individuals with certain professional experience in recommending such individuals to serve as members of the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

HR 10138 amends the law governing appointments to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. It requires the Chairman to prioritize recommending individuals with at least three years of legal experience related to veterans' laws when suggesting candidates to the Secretary. This change directly affects who is considered for Board membership, aiming to ensure new members have relevant legal expertise in veterans' benefits. The bill focuses on procedural appointment criteria, not on changing veterans' benefits or services.
