Resolve to study women veterans and the long-term effects of combat on motherhood

This bill establishes a special legislative commission to study how combat experiences affect female veterans and their ability to parent. The commission will examine the short-term and long-term impacts on these women and assess how their children, who live in Massachusetts, are influenced by this background. The panel will include leaders from veterans' affairs, mental health services, and appointed representatives from both legislative chambers and the governor's office. Members must be appointed within 30 days, and the group is required to submit a final report with recommendations within 18 months.
