Referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill requires the President to establish metrics defining veteran success and develop a comprehensive National Veterans Strategy every four years. The strategy must measure veteran well-being across seven areas: physical health, mental health, spiritual health, economic security, education, family and social engagement, and civic engagement. The President must collaborate with key stakeholders including federal agencies, Congress, state and local governments, veterans service organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and research institutions to create and implement the strategy. Congress has the power to disapprove any proposed strategy through a joint resolution within 60 days of submission. The President must submit annual progress reports to Congress detailing implementation outcomes, spending across sectors, and recommendations for legislative or administrative improvements, with a comprehensive review of the strategy every four years. The bill does not authorize elimination of any existing veteran benefits or services, and the President has one to two years from enactment to establish initial metrics and two to four years to submit the first strategy.
