Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 881 of the Military and Veterans Code, relating to veterans.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law related to veteran service providers by extending the deadline for a required progress report from April 1, 2019, to April 1, 2026. The bill maintains the existing competitive grant program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which certifies nonprofit organizations as veteran service providers. The certification process requires these organizations to demonstrate their ability to provide supportive services to veterans and their families, including having a proven track record of effectively serving veterans, maintaining current legal and tax filings, and possessing the necessary knowledge and cultural competency. The bill makes minor technical changes to the language of the existing law, such as clarifying grammatical structures and standardizing terminology, but does not substantially alter the core requirements for veteran service provider certification. The primary substantive change is the extension of the reporting deadline, which will give the department more time to develop and implement the required regulations for certifying and decertifying veteran service providers.
