Bill > S2497

This bill makes a technical amendment to Chapter 115, Section 5 of the Massachusetts General Laws by removing the phrase "subject to appropriation" from line 108. While the bill's title indicates it relates to shelter benefits for veterans, the specific amendment appears to remove a budgetary restriction that previously qualified veterans' shelter benefits. By deleting the "subject to appropriation" language, the bill suggests that veterans' shelter benefits would no longer be contingent on available funding, potentially ensuring more consistent and guaranteed access to these benefits. The change implies a commitment to providing shelter support for veterans without the potential limitation of budget constraints, though the full practical implications would depend on the broader context of the existing law.
