AI Summary
This bill appropriates $1 million in state general fund money specifically to support transportation services for veterans in two Oregon counties, Coos and Curry, who need to travel to the Roseburg Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center. The bill allocates $500,000 to each county for the two-year budget period beginning July 1, 2025, to help veterans in these rural coastal counties access medical care at the VA facility. By providing these funds, the legislation aims to address potential transportation challenges that veterans might face when needing to reach medical services, particularly in areas with potentially limited public transportation options. The appropriation is additional to any existing funding and is specifically earmarked for transportation services to ensure veterans can reliably attend medical appointments at the Roseburg VA Medical Center.
