Summary
The Local Government, Public Safety and Veterans Affairs Committee unanimously voted to favorably report Senate Resolution 21, which urges Congress to support mental-health treatment for military veterans. The measure received no public testimony and will go to the Committee on Rules and Reference.
The Local Government, Public Safety and Veterans Affairs Committee unanimously voted to favorably report Senate Resolution 21, a nonbinding measure urging Congress to support mental-health treatment for military veterans.
The resolution was considered at its third hearing; no members of the public offered testimony. Vice Chair Wilson moved to favorably report the resolution to the Committee on Rules and Reference, and the committee approved the motion by roll-call vote.
Committee members recorded their votes during the roll call: Chair Johnson — yes; Vice Chair Wilson — yes; Ranking Member Weinstein — yes; Senator Patton — yes; Senator Schaefer — yes; Senator Gregg — yes; Senator Craig — yes. The committee characterized the vote as unanimous.
Because the measure is a Senate resolution, it does not by itself change state law; the committee record shows it will advance to the Committee on Rules and Reference for further processing.
