Bill Summary
Amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in State Veterans' Commission and Deputy Adjutant General for Veterans' Affairs, further providing for accreditation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania law regarding the Office of the Deputy Adjutant General for Veterans' Affairs by expanding the required county director of veterans affairs training program. Specifically, the bill mandates that the training program now include instruction on trauma-informed care, military sexual trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other forms of trauma-informed care. The training program will be developed in collaboration with the State Association of County Directors of Veterans Affairs. This change aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of county-level veterans affairs directors in addressing the complex psychological and emotional challenges faced by veterans. The bill will go into effect 180 days after its passage, allowing time for the development and implementation of the expanded training curriculum.
