HR 7657 United States House · 118th Congress

Healthcare Freedom for VHA Volunteer Drivers Act of 2024

This bill revises a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) directive to allow unvaccinated individuals to volunteer as drivers transporting veterans to VA medical facilities. It directly affects unvaccinated people who wish to volunteer for this specific transportation service. The key change requires the VA Secretary to amend VHA Directive 1193.01 to add an exception for such volunteers, while allowing the Secretary to set appropriate conditions. The policy change specifically modifies vaccination requirements for this volunteer role, not for all VA healthcare personnel.
