This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $10,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the department of veterans' services. This funding is designated for grants aimed at assisting veterans in the state who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and require mental health counseling.

Additionally, the bill mandates that $3,000,000 of the appropriated funds be allocated to federally recognized tribal nations within the state to support their veterans with PTSD in accessing mental health counseling services. This represents a targeted effort to ensure that veterans from tribal communities receive necessary mental health support.
