This bill proposes to update current statutes by requiring the Department of Veterans' Services to conduct a study on veterans' awareness of available federal, state, or community programs and services. The new language specifies that the department must evaluate the extent of this awareness and submit a report detailing the findings and recommendations to the governor, the president of the senate, and the speaker of the house of representatives by December 31, 2027. Additionally, the report should include suggestions for enhancing public awareness of veterans' services and improving veterans' knowledge of available programs.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that the section mandating this study will be repealed after December 31, 2027, ensuring that the requirement is temporary and subject to review. The current law remains unchanged, while the new insertions establish a clear framework for the study and reporting process, aiming to improve the outreach and effectiveness of veterans' services in the state.
