What H.R. 530 does
H.R. 530, the ACES Act, would have the Department of Veterans Affairs sign an agreement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study cancer among veterans who served on active duty as aircrew members and regularly flew in fixed-wing aircraft. The study would look at how common these cancers are and how many veterans die from them, and the Department would report the results.
