Toxic Exposure Education for Servicemembers Act of 2023

HR 2469 requires the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of enactment, to create a new risk assessment for toxic exposure (defined per 38 U.S.C. §101) affecting service members near burn pits and establish an outreach program. This program must inform affected service members about toxic exposure risks, available benefits, eligibility, and timelines through direct mail, email, text, and social media. By one year after enactment, the Department of Defense must publish a website listing resources for service members, veterans, dependents, caregivers, and survivors who experienced toxic exposure during service. The bill directly affects current and former service members who may have been exposed to toxins, ensuring they receive clear information about support programs.
