The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5411 proposes to appropriate funds to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The purpose of this appropriation is to enhance and expand training for municipal providers of veterans' assistance, specifically targeting members of municipal veterans advisory committees, directors of municipal veterans services, and municipal veterans representatives. This initiative aims to improve the quality of support and services provided to veterans at the local level.

The bill includes a new section that will take effect on July 1, 2026, which outlines the funding allocation from the General Fund. The statement of purpose emphasizes the need for increased training resources to better equip municipal providers in their roles. Additionally, the bill contains a deletion of language that indicates how proposed changes are marked, streamlining the presentation of the new legal language.
