The Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs has approved a version of the RESPECT Act of 2025. This version includes an amendment that replaces the original text with a new set of provisions, a process known as a substitute amendment.
Why it matters: This is an incremental legislative step. The bill has cleared a committee hurdle, but it still needs to pass the full Senate and be signed by the President before any of its provisions become law.
