What’s in it

This bill establishes a veterans service animal training grant program under the administration of the department of veterans affairs (department) for the purpose of providing service animal training services to eligible veterans. The bill annually appropriates $100,000 from the general fund of the state to the department to support the program. Under the program, an eligible veteran may receive one grant in the veteran’s lifetime for up to $5,000, which shall be paid directly to the accredited organization providing the service animal training services.

Read the full explanation

The department may charge a fee to accredited organizations, which shall be used for reasonable administrative costs associated with the program. The bill requires the department to adopt rules for implementing and administering the program and to coordinate with veteran service organizations to conduct outreach and assist eligible veterans with applications.
