Whereas veterans who get involved in the criminal justice sys-
tem may be at a higher risk for suicide; 
Whereas justice-involved veterans in prison cannot receive 
medical services furnished by the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, but may receive outreach services; 
Whereas justice-involved veterans have more specialized needs 
upon reentry into society; 
Whereas veterans treatment courts serve only veterans who 
are charged with nonviolent crimes and are in need of 
mental health or substance abuse treatment;

whether a veteran’s case should be heard in the treat-
ment court, and veterans go through counseling funded 
by the Department of Veterans Affairs; 
Whereas once the veteran finishes the program, which can 
last from a few months to years, all charges are dropped; 
and 
Whereas only approximately 500 counties have veterans 
treatment courts: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

treatment court program;

of these programs and best practices; and
