U.S. Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas says recently passed legislation and additional measures under consideration will help veterans who over the past few decades have been exposed to toxic waste.

At a roundtable meeting with veterans on Thursday, the senator discussed the “Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022.” It was approved with bipartisan support and signed into law last month by President Biden.

The bill aims to give health benefits to veterans exposed to toxic waste.
