TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida veterans will be able to receive alternative treatments for traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder under a bill signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The bill DeSantis signed Wednesday in Tampa will create a pilot program so veterans can be treated with music therapy, equine therapy, service animal training therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The new law also provides $200,000 for the program.
DeSantis also signed a bill to establish the Honor and Remember Flag as a state emblem to recognize the sacrifice of those who have been killed while serving in the military.
