The bill establishes a Military Suicide Prevention Task Force under the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, in collaboration with the Department of Human Services. The primary goal of the task force is to reduce military suicides and develop a comprehensive plan for their elimination. It will consist of 17 members, including ex-officio members from various state departments and public members appointed by state officials, with a focus on ensuring diverse representation, including veterans and individuals with experience in mental health and military-related issues. The task force is tasked with identifying concerns facing active duty service members and veterans, recommending state measures to address these issues, and examining existing programs and policies related to military suicide.

The task force will meet at least every other month and is required to submit reports to the Governor and the Legislature at least twice a year, detailing its findings and recommendations for policies and programs aimed at reducing military suicides. The bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration with various state and local agencies to gather necessary data and resources to fulfill its mission effectively.
