H.R. 5040 requires the secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to review and update all suicide prevention and behavioral health information posted on their military installation websites by August 1, 2027. The bill ensures that servicemembers have access to current and accurate mental health resources, including up-to-date contact information for support services available at their installations. After completing their reviews, each military department must certify to Congress that the information is accurate. This legislation directly affects active-duty service members and their families who rely on these online resources. The bill contains no new federal funding requirements, as it directs existing military departments to perform reviews of information they already maintain.
