A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the requirements for applications for construction of State home facilities to increase the maximum percentage of nonveterans allowed to be treated at such facilities, and for other purposes.

This bill requires a state seeking assistance for a state home facility to provide reasonable assurances that, for furnishing care to veterans' spouses, during a period in which a facility is operating with a bed occupancy rate of 90% or less, at least 40% of the bed occupancy at any one time shall consist of patients who are not receiving such level of care as veterans.
