Memorializes President and Congress to expand certain benefits to grandchildren of veterans impacted by Agent Orange.
SCR 41 is a New Jersey concurrent resolution urging the U.S. President and Congress to expand benefits under the "Agent Orange Benefits Act of 1996" to include grandchildren of veterans exposed to Agent Orange who have Spina Bifida. Currently, this federal law provides monthly payments, healthcare, vocational training, and other support only to the children of affected veterans, not their grandchildren. The resolution requests that Congress amend the 1996 Act to extend these specific benefits to grandchildren diagnosed with Spina Bifida, citing evidence of elevated health risks in this group. It does not create new federal law but formally asks Congress to take action.
