This bill, the Veteran Suicide Prevention Act, directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to conduct a thorough review of the deaths of veterans who died by suicide within the five years before the bill’s enactment.

The findings of this review will be reported to Congress and made public to inform future suicide prevention efforts.
