This bill mandates the South Dakota Department of Health to publish an annual report on the number of veterans who die by suicide in the state. Specifically, the report must be made available on the department's website by August 1st each year and will include data on residents who served in the armed forces of the United States or the South Dakota National Guard.

The new legal language introduced in this bill establishes a clear requirement for the Department of Health to track and report these statistics, thereby aiming to raise awareness and address the issue of veteran suicides in South Dakota.
