Bill > HF3042

This bill provides funding for veteran retreats at Camp Bliss in Walker, Minnesota, by establishing a grant program administered by the commissioner of administration. The bill appropriates $150,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to support retreats for eligible veterans and their family members. Eligible veterans are defined as former armed forces service members with honorable discharge documentation (DD-214) or current active or reserve component service members. Family members include the veteran's spouse, domestic partner, or child. The grant recipient, Independent Lifestyles, Inc., can use the funds to provide customized therapy, transportation, and activities for veterans and their families, as well as perform general camp maintenance. The commissioner will reimburse the grant recipient at least $850 per verified veteran or family member, with funding available for up to two visits per year per eligible participant.
