Requires DMVA establish Veterans Outdoor Recovery Task Force.

It must develop recommendations within 18 months to improve access to outdoor recreation as part of veteran care. The task force will report its findings to the Legislature and Governor, focusing on coordination between state agencies and public land access for veterans.
