Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to expand an existing Veterans Health Administration directive on informed consent to cover additional medication types beyond opioids. Specifically, it requires the VA to update its informed consent directive to apply to antipsychotics, stimulants, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and narcotics. The expansion would ensure veterans receive written informed consent documentation for these medication classes, similar to current requirements for long-term opioid therapy.
