Plain-English Summary
The military would be required to create standards ensuring that service members leaving active duty receive their electronic health records quickly and reliably. The Secretary of Defense would also have to submit a report to Congress explaining how the military is meeting these timeliness standards. This affects separating service members who need their medical records for civilian healthcare, VA benefits, or employment purposes.
