The purpose of the Veterans Heroin Overdose Prevention Examination Act, also known as the Veterans HOPE Act, is to address the alarming rise in opioid overdose deaths among veterans. The legislation aims to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct a thorough review of these deaths, focusing on the factors contributing to the increase and identifying ways to improve the safety and well-being of veterans. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to complete a review within 18 months of its enactment.
