This bill mandates the Adjutant General of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to create a program aimed at assisting veterans in obtaining evaluation and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and total brain injury diagnoses related to their military service. The program is designed to provide various forms of support, including guidance, transportation, help with filing disability compensation claims, and access to health care and other relevant services at local, state, and federal levels.

The bill introduces new legal language that defines a "veteran" as any individual who has served in the Armed Forces of the United States or a Reserve component, including the New Jersey National Guard. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing the mental health needs of veterans and ensuring they receive the necessary care and resources to aid in their recovery and reintegration into civilian life. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
