The House Resolution authorizes the Special Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs to conduct a study on the Veterans Court Program Treatment Act and the Post-Conviction Veterans Mentor Program. This initiative aims to evaluate and recommend necessary revisions to these programs, which are designed to assist veterans facing challenges related to substance misuse and mental health issues, often exacerbated by their military service. The resolution acknowledges the sacrifices made by veterans and emphasizes the importance of providing them with the cognitive and rehabilitative support they need to reintegrate into society successfully.

The Special Committee is tasked with assessing the effectiveness of the current programs in addressing the needs of veterans and active duty military members involved in the criminal justice system. A report detailing the findings and recommendations from this evaluation is required to be submitted to the House Committee on Judiciary by March 9, 2026. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the report be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring transparency and accessibility of the information gathered.
