Bill > S2810

This bill, titled the Service Members Transition Improvement Act of 2014, requires the Secretary of Defense to create a system for sharing specific information about service members leaving the military with State veterans agencies. This information includes details about their military service and separation, along with their personal email address, phone number, and mailing address. Crucially, this sharing can only happen if the service member gives their consent. The bill also specifies that State veterans agencies can only share this information with county government veterans service offices for the purpose of administering and delivering benefits, as determined by the Secretary of Defense. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment detailing the procedures developed, the actions taken, and any recommendations for improvement.
