Senate Committee: Senior Citizens and Veterans Affairs
Complete to 6-24-08
A SUMMARY OF SENATE BILL 754 AS PASSED BY THE SENATE 10-24-07
The bill would create the "Veterans Welcome Home Act" to require the Department of Labor and Economic Growth to include a list of all state-funded veterans' service organizations (VSOs) in the welcome home letter that it sends to returning veterans. The list would be ordered by the amount of state funding, with the VSO that received the most state funding listed first and the remaining organizations listed in descending order.
(Currently, DLEG sends a letter to returning veterans directing them to a website with information about employment, education, and business start-up opportunities, as well as veterans' benefits.)
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no fiscal impact on state or local government.
