Toxic Exposure Education for Servicemembers Act of 2023

S 2084, the Toxic Exposure Education for Servicemembers Act of 2023, requires the Secretary of Defense (with VA consultation) to create a new risk assessment for toxic exposure near burn pits and an outreach program for affected servicemembers within 180 days. This bill directly affects military personnel assigned near burn pits, informing them about health risks and available benefits, including eligibility details and timelines. Key provisions mandate outreach via email, text, and social media, plus a public website listing resources for servicemembers, veterans, dependents, and survivors impacted by toxic exposure. The law aims to improve awareness of health risks and support programs without altering benefit eligibility or funding.
