Summary
The VA FOIA Reform Act of 2021 aims to improve how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) handles public requests for information. If passed, the bill would require the VA to create a formal plan to eliminate its backlog of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and undergo an independent assessment to ensure it is following federal transparency laws. For veterans and the general public, this legislation is intended to provide faster access to government records and increase accountability through mandatory annual progress reports published on the VA website.
