Bill Summary

Relative to shelter benefits for veterans. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to remove the phrase "subject to appropriation" from Section 5 of Chapter 115. This change would remove the requirement that funding for shelter benefits for veterans be contingent on appropriation by the state legislature. The removal of this language could help ensure that veterans have consistent access to these shelter benefits, regardless of annual budget negotiations.
