The bill appropriates $400,000 from the general fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the Veterans Resilience Project, which aims to provide eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy for veterans, their spouses, and current military service members experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma. The funding is set to continue at a base level of $400,000 annually starting in fiscal year 2028.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Veterans Resilience Project submit an annual report to the commissioner of veterans affairs and relevant legislative committees by January 15 each year. This report will detail the program's budget, expenditures, the number of individuals served, and the services provided to participants, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of the appropriated funds.
