What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill 1) defines “council" for the purposes of the Veterans Affairs chapter to

mean the Council on Veterans Programs and amends statutory references within the

chapter accordingly, 2) amends references to county veterans service offices in

chapter 45 of the statutes for consistency, and 3) repeals from the statutes governing

the Department of Veterans Affairs two grant programs, one that expired in 2007

and one that expired in 2011.

The bill also clarifies that DVA must provide information on the availability of

and referrals for medical or mental health services for post-traumatic stress

disorder.

Additionally, the bill removes May 30 as a description of Memorial Day in the

statutes and amends the grammar describing government workers' leaves of absence

for Memorial Day.
