S.B. No. 2932 establishes a pilot program in Texas aimed at providing personalized treatment protocols for veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The program, defined in the newly added Chapter 49 of the Health and Safety Code, will award grants to at least 250 veterans, including those with treatment-resistant PTSD. The treatment protocols must be administered at the veteran's home and focus on reducing neuroinflammation and replenishing brain chemistry, while explicitly excluding narcotic drugs, psychedelic drugs, and psychotropic medications. The program will be operated by the commission in collaboration with a nonprofit veterans organization, and it allows for the acceptance of gifts, grants, and donations to support its operations.

The bill mandates that the executive commissioner adopt rules for implementing the program and requires the commission to submit a report by October 1, 2030, detailing the number of veterans served and evaluating the program's effectiveness. The pilot program is set to expire on September 1, 2031, and the act will take effect on September 1, 2025.
