AI Summary
This bill requires the Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to conduct a two-year study on the outcomes and efficacy of the veteran to veteran peer support helpline, commonly known as the "vet to vet hotline." The study will analyze national suicide data and data collected from the helpline, and will examine the helpline's efficacy in leading veterans to sustained mental health care, its visibility, its role as part of the DMVA's mental health services, and its effectiveness in preventing suicides and assisting veterans at risk. The Adjutant General will then submit a written report to the Legislature with the study's findings and may also propose legislation to improve the laws regarding the helpline's efficacy.
