A 3176 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes and allocates funds for program to provide mental health services to veterans; appropriates $2 million.

This bill establishes a state-funded program to provide mental health services to New Jersey veterans through grants. It allocates $2 million from the General Fund to the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs to award grants to qualified veterans organizations. These organizations must contract with licensed mental health professionals to deliver services and must qualify as tax-exempt (501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19)) or be federally chartered veterans service groups, including specified entities like the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group. The program directly affects veterans seeking mental health care and the eligible organizations administering the services.
