Vote Yes on this bill if you want a statewide veterans suicide prevention program that boosts screenings, funds local efforts, trains agencies, and improves data sharing and annual reporting to target help faster.

Organizations that support this bill may include veterans service organizations, military family groups, mental health and suicide prevention advocates, and public health departments seeking coordinated care and local grants.

Vote No on this bill if you want to limit government program expansion and spending, keep death and autopsy information from being shared with the veterans department, and avoid new grant and training duties.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include civil liberties and privacy advocates, budget watchdog groups, and some medical-legal stakeholders concerned about broader sharing of death and autopsy data and potential new costs.
