Emergency Community Care Notification Time Adjustment Act of 2022 This bill modifies the Veterans Community Care Program by requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to deem as authorized emergency care or services provided by a non-VA provider to a covered veteran if the veteran (or an individual acting on the veteran's behalf) submits an application for such authorization by a deadline determined appropriate by the VA, which may not be earlier than 72 hours following the veteran's discharge from the facility.

Maddy summaryH.J. Res. 46 is a joint resolution seeking to terminate the national emergency declared by President Trump on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act. If enacted, it would end the legal authority allowing federal agencies to bypass standard procedures during the pandemic response. This action would directly affect government operations relying on emergency powers, requiring agencies to revert to regular processes for ongoing programs. The resolution does not alter existing laws or create new policies - it solely ends the emergency designation.
