What this amendment would do

SA 3000, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, is an amendment to bill H.R. 3944. This bill handles appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that funds from title II of division A are not used to lower the capacity of the Veterans Crisis Line to provide resources and respond to veterans in crisis. Specifically, it aims to prevent the following:

  • Reducing staffing
  • Limiting hours of operation
  • Decreasing training opportunities
  • Curbing access to relevant information technology systems
