S 3295 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Increasing Access to Military Service Records Act of 2023

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to create a digital portal allowing veterans and their families to access their military service records online. It establishes an advisory committee with military branch representatives, VA officials, and veterans' organizations to assess how to implement the portal, coordinate with the Defense Department, protect privacy, and address accessibility needs. The committee must report to Congress within 180 days of its first meeting, focusing on leveraging existing systems and resolving legal or technical barriers to record access. The goal is to replace current paper-based processes with a centralized digital platform for veterans' records.
