WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Burn Pit Registry Enhancement Act passed the House of Representatives. Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-02) introduced the bipartisan legislation earlier this month with a fellow doctor, Congressman Raul Ruiz (D-CA). The Burn Pit Registry Enhancement Act would strengthen and enhance the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) registry of service members and veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals and fumes from open-air burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.
