Bill overview
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to include data on suicide rates among former Reserve component members in its annual National Veteran Suicide Prevention Report. Currently, this report doesn't track suicide rates for individuals who served in the Reserve but were never activated for military duty. The bill aims to improve understanding of suicide risk within this specific group of veterans and inform suicide prevention efforts. It mandates collaboration with the Department of Defense to gather and report this crucial information.
