Bill Summary

Excludes veterans' benefits from calculation of financial obligation for care at psychiatric facility.

AI Summary

This bill excludes veterans' benefits from the calculation of an individual's financial obligation for care at a psychiatric facility. Specifically, the bill amends an existing law to state that in determining the amount a person with mental illness who is 18 years of age or older must contribute towards the cost of their treatment and hospitalization, the person's income shall not include any veterans' benefits they receive. This change aims to ensure that veterans' benefits are not counted as part of an individual's financial resources when assessing their ability to pay for psychiatric care.
