COLUMBIA, S.C., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans of all stripes cheered today as the United States Senate finally passed the long-awaited Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act in a bipartisan 86 - 11 vote which not only expanded health care and disability benefits to millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, but also clears the way for the potentially hundreds of thousands of Americans exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune from 1953-1987.

Key Points: 
  • "It's an important step, it's a moral vote and it's long overdue."
  • Today's vote sends the Camp Lejeune Justice Act , included in the PACT Act, to President Joe Biden's desk where, if signed, it will reopen the claim period for an additional two years so anyone impacted by the toxic water can seek medical and compensatory damages.
  • The PACT Act has drawn particular attention when Republican opposition blocked the bill from passage last week sparking a national backlash and outcry.
