Lake County, IN needs a Veterans Court for Lake County, IN. Keep our Veterans out of jail and on the road to recovery. Support House Bill 1016.
Why is this important?
Veterans Courts assist veterans charged with non-violent crimes who are struggling with addiction, mental illness, or other illness and come in contact with the criminal justice system. Veterans need help, not jail. The Veterans Court for Lake County, IN has been denied because of funding. Let's find another way. By signing the petition you are supporting legislation to fund Veterans Court in Lake County, IN without reducing other social services in the county.
