Grant appropriation to provide equine-experiential mental health therapy to first responders suffering from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder

SF 901 appropriates $250,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $250,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to provide equine-experiential mental health therapy to eligible first responders through Abijah's on the Backside. It directly affects active or retired peace officers, firefighters (full-time and volunteer), ambulance personnel, 911 telecommunicators, and correctional officers suffering from job-related trauma or PTSD. The bill requires the grant recipient to submit two reports detailing program budget, expenditures, participants served, and services provided - due January 2026 and January 2028. This is a one-time appropriation with no ongoing funding mechanism.
