Bill > SB1061

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand the training requirements for county directors of veterans affairs by mandating that the Office of the Deputy Adjutant General for Veterans' Affairs develop a training program in collaboration with the State Association of County Directors of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, the bill requires the training program to include instruction on trauma-informed care, which encompasses topics such as military sexual trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other forms of trauma-related issues. By adding these specific training requirements, the bill aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of county veterans affairs directors in addressing the complex psychological and emotional challenges faced by veterans. The bill will take effect 180 days after its enactment, allowing time for the development and implementation of the new training program.
