Veterans' Extended Health Care Services and Business Enhancements Act of 2003

This act, which became law in December 2003, extends and expands several healthcare services and administrative programs for veterans. Key provisions include extending guaranteed nursing home and non-institutional long-term care through 2008 and removing the 90-day minimum detention requirement for former prisoners of war to qualify for outpatient dental care.

For the average citizen and veteran, the law ensures continued access to extended-care services and simplifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' ability to manage its property and research facilities. Additionally, it officially renamed the VA Medical Center in Prescott, Arizona, in honor of former Congressman Bob Stump.
