The bill amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on the veterans registry and the PA VETConnect Program. It updates the duties of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs by enhancing the information collected in the veterans registry. Notably, it includes provisions for obtaining information related to support resources for military sexual trauma, thereby broadening the scope of benefits and program information available to veterans.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the PA VETConnect Program coordinate with various stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, veterans' service organizations, and healthcare providers, to ensure comprehensive support for veterans and their families. The inclusion of support resources for military sexual trauma in the program's framework emphasizes the commitment to addressing the specific needs of affected veterans. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
