HB 1171 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a study on state land use to facilitate health and wellness for veterans.

HB 1171 directs the Texas Veterans Commission, with partners including the General Land Office and Parks Department, to study how state parks and land could better support veterans' health and wellness through outdoor recreation. The study must identify barriers to using these spaces for wellness services and develop recommendations to improve access. The commission must submit a report with findings and any needed legal changes to the legislature by November 2026. This bill does not change current land use but aims to inform future policy for veterans' benefit.
