Veterans resilience project appropriation

This bill appropriates $400,000 annually from the general fund for the Veterans Resilience Project, starting in fiscal year 2026 and continuing with a base of $400,000 each year after 2028. It directly funds Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for veterans, veterans' spouses, current military service members, and their spouses suffering from PTSD or trauma. The project must report annually by January 15 to the commissioner of veterans affairs and relevant legislative committees, detailing program budgets, expenditures, participants served, and services provided. The funding specifically targets mental health support through a recognized therapy method for military-connected individuals.
