Lethal Means Safe Storage for Veteran Suicide Prevention Act

S 4929, the Lethal Means Safe Storage for Veteran Suicide Prevention Act, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to implement annual lethal means safety training for all VA health providers (including doctors, nurses, and Vet Center staff) and community care providers serving veterans. It also mandates VA to launch public education campaigns about safe firearm storage and suicide prevention, and establishes a $2 million grant program to provide free gun lock boxes or safes to veterans through states, veterans service organizations, or nonprofits. The grants, limited to $100,000 per entity and $2 million total, cannot collect veterans' personal information or require mandatory storage, and must comply with ASTM safety standards. This bill directly affects VA health providers and eligible veterans seeking firearm safety resources.
