This bill, titled the "Saving Our Veterans Lives Act of 2025," directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a program providing eligible veterans with items for secure firearm storage . Upon request, the program will furnish a covered item , defined as a U.S.-manufactured, ASTM-compliant lockbox for firearms and ammunition, or a redeemable voucher for such an item. It also requires the provision of information on the benefits and options for secure firearm storage, with the Secretary authorized to partner with experienced organizations for distribution. The bill mandates a public education campaign to inform eligible individuals about the program's availability, emphasizing that participation does not impact lawful firearm ownership. The Secretary must also develop and publish an informational video on secure firearm storage as a suicide prevention strategy . Furthermore, the bill requires annual reports to Congress detailing program activities, the number of items distributed, and assessments of outreach efforts, particularly to veterans not enrolled in the VA healthcare system. Crucially, the legislation includes a rule of construction clarifying that the program will not collect personally identifiable information for tracking firearm ownership, require firearm registration, mandate storage, or discourage lawful firearm ownership. It authorizes an appropriation of $5,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2036 to carry out these provisions.
