Bill Summary
For legislation to make the Secretary of Veterans Services a cabinet level position. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to make the Secretary of Veterans Services a cabinet-level position. Specifically, it amends existing laws to: (1) add the "commissioner of veterans services" to the list of state officials that are part of the governor's cabinet; (2) remove the Department of Veterans' Services from the list of departments within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services; and (3) repeal a section of law that established the position of Secretary of Veterans' Services. These changes elevate the status of the Secretary of Veterans Services and position it as a standalone, cabinet-level department.
