Where we get our data: open.pluralpolicy.com, a community project that pulls legislative data from the Federal and State House and Senate websites.
Official data: We track and report the votes reported by the legislature. Displayed votes are the most recent data available from the House and Senate websites through Open States.
Changed votes: Legislators are entitled to change their votes after bills pass or fail. Those changes may or may not be published by the state.
No votes: A gray circle indicates that the legislator did not vote on the latest motion for that bill. They may have been absent or otherwise unable to vote.

Chamber:
This bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to reimburse the estates of deceased beneficiaries for benefits that were misused by fiduciaries. The amendment involves redesignating current subsections and inserting a new provision for reissuing misused benefits. It outlines a specific order for repayment: first to the estate of the beneficiary, then to a successor fiduciary, and finally to the next inheritor as determined by a court, excluding any fiduciaries who misused the benefits.
