Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs

Description:
H.R. 2340 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to notify the Congress within seven days of any suicide or attempted suicide that takes place in or on the grounds of a VA facility. The bill also would require the department to submit within 60 days of the incident additional information to the Congress about the veterans’ demographics and their use of VA health care.  CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 to prepare necessary regulations; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
