What it does

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

This bill creates a grant program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). Under the bill, DVA may make up to a total of $250,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations that provide financial assistance or other services to veterans and their families.

The bill also creates certain record-keeping and audit requirements concerning grants awarded by DVA, including the grants to nonprofit organizations described above. Under current law, DVA provides grants to counties, American Indian tribes or bands, and other entities and organizations that provide various kinds of assistance to veterans and their families. Current law requires some, but not all, of those entities and organizations to maintain certain records concerning the expenditure of grant moneys and authorizes DVA to audit those records. This bill extends those record-keeping and audit requirements to any recipient of a DVA grant that is not an individual. Under the bill, such a grant recipient must maintain records concerning the recipient's expenditure of grant moneys and must give DVA access to those records upon request. DVA may audit those records to ensure compliance with applicable grant requirements. Under the bill, if a grant recipient fails to comply with the record-keeping and audit requirements created in the bill, DVA may, in addition to any other available legal remedy, reduce, suspend, or terminate the grant.
