Requires DVA establish Veterans Outdoor Recovery Task Force.
New Jersey's S 3199 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to create a Veterans Outdoor Recovery Task Force. The task force, led by DVA and Environmental Protection commissioners, will identify barriers and coordinate with agencies to expand veterans' access to outdoor therapy on public lands. It must hold public hearings, develop recommendations for improving outdoor healing programs, and report findings to the legislature within 18 months. The bill directly affects veterans seeking mental health and rehabilitation support through outdoor activities, aiming to facilitate their use of public spaces for healing.
