Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to a study on mental health services provided to veterans through the Texas Veterans Commission.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) to conduct a comprehensive study focused on improving and expanding mental health services through their Military Veteran Peer Network, with a specific emphasis on rural communities. The study will evaluate strategies to increase the number of certified peer service coordinators who provide mental health support to service members, veterans, and their families. The TVC is required to prepare and submit a detailed report to the legislature by December 1, 2026, outlining the study's findings and recommendations for potential legislative or administrative actions. The bill will take effect either immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both legislative chambers or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met. The legislation itself will expire on September 1, 2027, effectively sunsetting the study and its associated requirements after the report is submitted.
