What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
