| IN RE: |
HB1457 by Rosenthal (Relating to required military informed care or military cultural competency training for certain personnel of entities that provide mental health services to veterans or veterans' families before award of a state agency grant.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would prohibit a state agency from awarding a grant to an entity for mental health services to veterans or veterans' families unless the entity has previously received and successfully executed such a grant or provides training on military informed care or military cultural competency to entity personnel who provide mental health services to veterans or veterans' families or requires those personnel to complete military competency training.
The bill would direct the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to jointly verify that each state agency authorized to award a grant subject to the above requirements has adopted policies to ensure compliance.
