DES MOINES, Iowa — A bill intended to improve mental health resources for veterans is heading to the U.S. Senate. Rep. Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa’s 3rd District, announced the Daniel J. Harvey and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act unanimously passed the house this past week.

The legislation expands on the Transition Assistance Program, or TAP, program. The bill is named after two veterans who lost their lives to suicide, including one from Iowa.

Cpl. Adam Lambert was 24 when he died. His parents were at Friday’s announcement in Ankeny.

Nunn says their powerful testament is a huge reason the bill is moving forward.
