VHA OPEN Policies Act of 2026

The VHA OPEN Policies Act of 2026 requires the Veterans Health Administration to publish all its national policies, such as directives and handbooks, on a public website within 90 days of enactment. This rule also mandates that any new or revised policies be added to the site within 30 days of their creation. The legislation directly affects the VA's health administration by making internal guidance accessible to the public and ensuring consistent, up-to-date information is available online.
