The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7080, aims to establish a Center of Excellence for Neuromodulation Treatments for Veterans at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The bill defines key terms such as "veteran," "neuromodulation," and "hospital," and mandates the health center to collaborate with a state hospital to provide neuromodulation treatments specifically for veterans. This initiative is designed to enhance the availability of specialized medical treatments for veterans suffering from neurological conditions.
To support the establishment of this center and the provision of treatments, the bill appropriates two million dollars from the General Fund to the University of Connecticut Health Center for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill includes new legal language that outlines the creation of the center and the funding allocation, while there are no deletions from existing law noted in the text. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
