What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Currently, seven members serve on the Board of Veterans Affairs (board) for staggered six-year terms. The bill divides the state into seven geographical areas, called districts, and requires that not more than one member of the board reside in each district. The bill requires organizations that are represented on the Council on Veterans Programs to assist the governor in finding appropriate nominees to the board and allows them to forward the names of possible nominees to the governor.

The bill requires the Department of Administration to review the population of veterans in each district every ten years and to adjust the counties contained in each district by rule if the population of veterans of any district deviates by more than 10 percent of an equal distribution among all districts, without splitting counties into more than one district or creating a district composed of counties that are not contiguous.
