Under existing law, the State Board of Veterans Affairs assists veterans in pursuing claims for military benefits and services to which they may be entitled from the United States arising from their military service.
This bill would clarify definitions, update board member eligibility, rename service manager as veteran service officer and rename district service commissioner as district manager, to provide for the appointment of an executive director to oversee the operation of state veterans homes, make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style, and repeal Section 31-5-12, Code of Alabama 1975.
