AI Summary
This bill amends the Sheila E. Hixson Behavioral Health Services Matching Grant Program for Service Members and Veterans by changing the term "active service member" to simply "service member" throughout the program's guidelines. This adjustment broadens the eligibility criteria for individuals and organizations involved in the program, ensuring that the program's benefits and services are accessible to a wider range of military personnel and their families, not just those currently on active duty. The program itself is designed to provide funding to local nonprofit organizations that offer behavioral health services or support to service members, veterans, and their families.
