Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds a requirement for the Attorney General to ensure that there is a single office responsible for coordinating the provision of grants, training, and technical assistance for the establishment and maintenance of veteran treatment courts. This change is important because it centralizes the support available to State, local, and Tribal governments, potentially leading to more efficient and effective implementation of veteran treatment court programs.
