Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to run a five-year pilot that awards competitive grants to nonprofit groups that provide service dogs to eligible veterans. The VA will set application rules, limit each grant to $2,000,000, provide veterinary insurance to veterans who receive dogs, and is authorized $10,000,000 per year for five years to operate the program. The Secretary must oversee the program, set payment schedules, may offer training and technical assistance to grantees, and must start the pilot within 24 months of enactment; the pilot lasts five years from the date the first grant is awarded.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
