Veterans with ALS Reporting Act
# Veterans with ALS Reporting Act (HR 6001) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to collect and report data on veterans diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

The goal is to better understand how widespread ALS is among the veteran population and identify any patterns that might suggest service-related causes. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects veterans living with ALS and the VA healthcare system.
