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 will be operated by the Health and Human Services Commission in collaboration with a nonprofit veterans organization, with the goal of awarding 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 bill also mandates the commission to prepare 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 executive commissioner is required to adopt necessary rules for implementation as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
