To amend title 38, United States Code, to establish a presumption of service connection for the occurrence of hepatitis C in certain veterans.

Considers hepatitis C becoming manifest in a veteran to be service-connected, and therefore compensable under veterans' disability provisions, notwithstanding that there is no record of evidence of such illness during the period of such service, as long as it is shown that during such service the veteran experienced: (1) a blood transfusion before December 31, 1992; or (2) hemodialysis.
