This bill amends existing laws regarding the reporting and training requirements for county commissions of veteran affairs in Iowa. It changes the reporting period from the previous calendar year to the previous fiscal year for compliance with training requirements and the number of hours of veterans services provided by each county commission's executive director or administrator.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that newly employed executive directors or administrators must complete certification training as directed by the commandant of the Iowa department of veterans affairs, along with federally required training and obtaining a personal identification verification card. It also modifies the continuing education requirements, specifying that these must be established by the commandant of the Iowa department of veterans affairs rather than the national association of county veterans service officers. Failure to meet these requirements can result in removal from office.
