Lethal Means Safety Training Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to update the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Lethal Means Safety and Suicide Prevention training course within 180 days, in consultation with listed groups, including health agencies, suicide prevention experts, licensed firearms dealers and instructors, and veterans service organizations. The VA would then update the course at least once a year and post a yearly online report on the percentage of required people who completed it. Certain VA employees, compensation and pension examiners, community care provider employees, and family caregivers receiving VA support would have to take the training within 90 days and then every year. The VA would also have to make the course available to the public on its website.
