The bill proposes an appropriation of $150,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support a grant program aimed at providing retreats for eligible veterans and their family members at Camp Bliss in Walker, Minnesota. The commissioner of veterans affairs is tasked with issuing the grant to Independent Lifestyles, Inc., which will utilize the funds for therapy, transportation, and activities tailored for veterans and their families, as well as for general maintenance of the camp. The commissioner is required to reimburse the grant recipient at least $850 for each verified eligible veteran or family member who attends the camp and receives services, with funding available for up to two visits per year per individual.

The bill also defines key terms related to eligibility for the program. An "eligible veteran" is defined as either a former armed forces service member with appropriate documentation of honorable service or a current member of the armed forces. Additionally, the term "family member" encompasses the veteran's spouse, domestic partner, or child. This structured approach aims to enhance the support and resources available to veterans and their families through organized retreats.
