Family Member Access to Burn Pit Registry Act

Family Member Access to Burn Pit Registry Act

This bill amends the Dignified Burial and Other Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2012 to allow a family member to participate in the Department of Veterans Affairs Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry on behalf of a deceased veteran or service member. (The registry is a database designed to allow certain veterans and service members to report deployment exposures to airborne hazards such as smoke from waste disposal burn pits, oil-well fires, or pollution, as well as other exposures and health concerns.)
