This bill mandates the establishment of a counseling program by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), in collaboration with the Department of Human Services (DHS), aimed at providing mental health care counseling to eligible family members of active duty military members and disabled veterans. The program will reimburse participating mental health care professionals for up to 10 counseling sessions per eligible family member each year, which can be conducted either in person or via telehealth. The DMVA is tasked with developing a list of available mental health care professionals, creating an application process for reimbursement eligibility, and conducting outreach to inform military families about the program.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the DMVA, including maintaining communication with mental health professionals regarding the number of remaining counseling sessions eligible for reimbursement and determining a standard reimbursement rate for sessions. It also defines key terms such as "disabled veteran" and "eligible family member," ensuring clarity on who qualifies for the program. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after enactment, allowing the DMVA to take necessary administrative actions in advance for implementation.
