Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to creation and maintenance of an electronic database to provide information to certain members of the United States armed forces regarding the resources and benefits provided to veterans.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Texas Veterans Commission to create and maintain an electronic database of contact information for United States armed forces members who are within 12 months of being discharged or released from active duty and have provided written consent to be included. The database will allow approved state agencies and local veteran service organizations to access service members' information for the purpose of providing resources and benefits information, such as details about employment opportunities, housing, healthcare services, training programs, and veteran support groups. To use the database, organizations must apply to and be approved by the commission, which will also develop rules and procedures for database access and administration. The bill is designed to help service members transitioning out of active duty by providing them with easier access to veteran-specific resources and support services. The legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025.
