“Amendment SA 3432 agreed to in Senate by Voice Vote.”
This amendment ensures that none of the money provided in the funding bill can be used to cut back or reduce the services offered by the Veterans Crisis Line. It acts as a safeguard to keep mental health support for veterans fully operational at its current level.
The Veterans Crisis Line is a critical tool for preventing suicide and providing immediate mental health aid; this amendment prevents administrative budget cuts from undermining that lifeline.
U.S. military veterans, active-duty service members, and their families who utilize the 24/7 crisis hotline are most directly affected.
