Veteran DATA Act

The Veteran DATA Act would prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from entering into contracts that allow contractors to sell or disclose veterans' sensitive personal information for consideration. It requires the VA to update all relevant contracts within one year of enactment to include clauses preventing the monetization, sale, or misuse of covered information—such as protected health information and personally identifiable data—and to issue compliance guidance and submit a report to congressional veterans' affairs committees on implementation efforts. The bill applies to both new and existing VA contracts that handle covered information and remain in effect after enactment.
