AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the joint committee of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to list the programs and processes that help servicemembers and veterans get mental health services as they move from military to civilian life. The committee would also assess how well those programs work. Within 180 days of the law taking effect, the committee would report its findings to the Senate and House Veterans' Affairs Committees, including any gaps or duplicate programs and recommendations to fix them. The bill would also require the committee to review the joint separation health assessment at least once every two years and recommend whether to remove, revise, or add questions.
