Bill > SB96

This bill amends the Sheila E. Hixson Behavioral Health Services Matching Grant Program for Service Members and Veterans by changing the terminology used to refer to individuals currently serving in the military. Specifically, it replaces the term "active service member" with the broader term "service member" throughout the program's guidelines. This change impacts who is considered an "eligible individual" for the program, which provides funds to local nonprofit organizations to establish and expand community behavioral health programs for service members, veterans, and their families. The bill also clarifies that nonprofit organizations seeking grants must have a mission to provide behavioral health services or services to service members, veterans, or their families.
