S.B. No. 1814 establishes a new electronic database aimed at providing essential information to members of the United States armed forces who are transitioning out of active duty. The bill mandates the creation of this database, which will include the names and contact information of service members who have given written consent and are set to be discharged or released within 12 months. The database will be accessible to state agencies and local veteran service organizations that have been approved by the commission, allowing them to provide vital information regarding benefits and resources available to veterans, such as employment opportunities, housing, healthcare services, and support groups.

Additionally, the bill requires the commission to adopt rules for the implementation and administration of the database, including the application process for entities seeking access. This initiative is designed to enhance the support provided to veterans as they transition to civilian life, ensuring they are informed about the resources available to them. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
