What’s happening with Veterans Mental Health and Addiction Therapy Quality of Care Act?
The effort to improve veteran mental health services is currently stalled on S. 702, which has remained on the Senate legislative calendar since December 8, 2025. The Senate must now decide when to schedule a floor vote to move the bill forward. While reaching the Senate calendar is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, floor time is limited and leadership must prioritize the vote.
