Veterans Tobacco Trust Fund Act of 1999

Summary

Veterans Tobacco Trust Fund Act of 1999 - Establishes in the Treasury the Veterans Tobacco Trust Fund. Provides that if a lawsuit is brought by the United States against tobacco manufacturers for costs incurred due to tobacco-related illnesses, then there shall be credited to the Fund, without further appropriation, the amount that bears the same ratio to the amount recovered as the amount for the Department of Veterans Affairs' costs for health care attributable to tobacco-related illnesses bears to the total amount sought in the suit. Makes such amounts available to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for: (1) furnishing veterans' medical care and services; and (2) conducting medical, rehabilitation, and health systems research, with particular emphasis on research relating to the prevention and treatment of, and rehabilitation from, tobacco addiction and diseases associated with tobacco use.
