The bill amends section 295.157 of the Florida Statutes to revise the purpose of the Veterans Dental Care Grant Program. The updated language specifies that the program aims to provide oral health care to veterans residing in Florida who have incomes of up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level.
This change is intended to expand access to dental care for a broader range of veterans, ensuring that those with higher income levels can also benefit from the program. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
