Bill > HB2673

This bill, known as the "Veterans Well-Being and Resource Outreach Act," requires the department of mental health to create an initiative encouraging local veterans' organizations and support groups to establish programs offering wellness checks for at-risk veterans. These programs will identify veterans who may be experiencing isolation, homelessness, or mental health issues and invite them to participate using noninvasive methods for initial contact. Participating veterans will receive a wellness check twice a month, conducted by either another veteran or someone trained in the specific medical, mental health, housing, and vocational needs of veterans. The checks will involve real-time communication, either in person or remotely, to assess and address these needs. The department of mental health is tasked with creating rules to implement this act, which will be subject to standard administrative procedures for rule-making.
