Summary
The Veteran DATA Act bars the Department of Veterans Affairs from entering contracts that allow contractors to sell or otherwise monetize sensitive veteran information. It also requires every VA contract handling such data to include a clause that forbids any monetization, and obligates the Secretary to issue guidance and report on compliance. The goal is to better safeguard veterans' health and identity information.
