Bill > HF2868

This bill provides a targeted grant funding mechanism for Every Third Saturday, a veterans support organization, by appropriating $50,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of veterans affairs. The funding is specifically designated to help provide emergency assistance to veterans, and is considered a one-time appropriation. In exchange for receiving the grant, Every Third Saturday is required to submit detailed reports to the commissioner of veterans affairs and the chairs and ranking minority members of legislative committees responsible for veterans affairs by September 1st of each respective year. These reports must comprehensively explain how the grant money was utilized and provide specific data on the number of veterans who benefited from the program. The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability by mandating these reporting requirements, ensuring that the appropriated funds are used effectively to support veterans in need of emergency assistance.
