This bill directs the Department of Defense (DOD) to declassify documents related to any known incident in which at least 100 members of the Armed Forces were exposed to a toxic substance that resulted in at least one case of a disability that a member of the medical profession has determined is associated with that substance.

Such declassification shall be limited to information necessary for a potentially exposed individual to determine:

  • whether that individual was exposed,
  • the potential severity of the exposure, and
  • any potential health conditions that may have resulted.

DOD is not required to declassify documents if it determines that declassification would materially and immediately threaten U.S. security.
