VA Security Screening Pilot Program Act

The VA Security Screening Pilot Program Act establishes a two-year pilot program to test weapon screening technology at the primary entrances of one selected Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical center network (VISN). It requires the VA Secretary to implement the program within one year of enactment, with exceptions allowed for centers already using such technology or facing staffing shortages. The pilot mandates a final report to Congress after completion, evaluating the technology's effectiveness, gathering satisfaction surveys from veterans, staff, and police, and assessing whether current security policies need updating. This program directly affects VA medical centers in the selected VISN and the veterans who visit them, without permanently changing security policies.
