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.
