Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the President to set metrics for measuring veterans' well-being in areas such as physical and mental health, economic security, education, and civic engagement, working with Congress, federal agencies, state and local governments, and private groups. The President would have to submit a National Veterans Strategy to Congress at least every four years to coordinate government, nonprofit, and private efforts to help veterans meet those metrics. Congress could block the strategy by passing a joint resolution of disapproval within 60 days. Federal agencies and federal grant recipients would have to use the strategy's outcome metrics, and the President would report to Congress each year on progress.
