H.R. 3520: Veteran Care Improvement Act of 2023
Met with various congressional offices, including members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and its health subcommittee, to advocate for the inclusion of language following ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) guidelines for placement, continued stay, transfer, or discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring
conditions. Additionally, advocated for the inclusion of a requirement to asses high suicide risk veterans presenting to VHA hospitals and affiliated facilities within 72 hours, followed by admitting the veteran to the appropriate level of care within 48-hours.
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.

Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.
