House Bill 30 drew bipartisan support as it cleared the full House today.
The bill's lead sponsor is Republican Representative Michael Meredith.
The measure is aimed at ending military and veteran suicides, which occur at a far higher rate than in the general population in Kentucky and even the nation.
Representative Meredith says the goal of the bill is to increase awareness of and access to the many services that already exist for veterans, better tailor services to meet veterans needs and reduce the stigma of seeking help.
