What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
