AZ HB2603

Arizona Department of Veterans' Services must establish mobile veteran service units to provide healthcare and telehealth services to rural and tribal veterans who cannot easily access basic health services

Mobile units will offer monthly visits to rural and tribal communities, providing behavioral health services, veterans claims assistance, mental health referrals, telehealth access for veterans with disabilities, and other needed care services

Service areas include Navajo, Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Yavapai, and Gila counties, with all units required to be ADA-compliant with accessible entrances and equipment

Department must submit quarterly reports to the governor and legislature beginning December 31, 2027, detailing the number of veterans served, types of aid provided, claims filed, and improvement recommendations

Eligible veterans include those residing in rural or frontier areas as defined by the USDA Economic Research Service, or those living on federally recognized tribal nations in Arizona
