Task Force on the Establishment of a State Park Dedicated to Veterans' Care

SB 781 establishes a task force to study the feasibility and costs of creating a state park in Washington County dedicated to providing recreational and therapeutic services for veterans. The task force includes state agency representatives, Washington County officials, veteran service organization members, and a landowner, who will assess park services, operational models, funding options, and develop an action plan. It must submit final recommendations to the Governor and relevant legislative committees by December 1, 2026, and will operate for two years (July 2025-June 2027). The bill does not create the park itself but enables a study to inform future decisions.
