Memorializes President and Congress to expand certain benefits to grandchildren of veterans impacted by Agent Orange.

ACR 99 is a New Jersey resolution requesting the U.S. President and Congress to expand the Agent Orange Benefits Act of 1996 to include grandchildren of veterans exposed to Agent Orange who have Spina Bifida. Currently, the Act provides benefits like medical care, counseling, and employment services to the children of exposed veterans, but not to their grandchildren. The resolution cites evidence that grandchildren of these veterans also face elevated rates of Spina Bifida - a lifelong condition requiring extensive medical care - and are denied similar support. It seeks to extend financial and service benefits to these grandchildren to address their medical costs and access to rehabilitation programs.
