This bill transfers the authority to oversee Veterans Education Services from the Department of Education to the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services. Specifically, it amends RSA 110-B:88 by adding a new paragraph that grants the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services the responsibility to oversee these functions, including the approval of educational institutions for veterans' services as authorized by Congress. The department will provide these services in accordance with various chapters of the United States Code.

In addition to the new provisions, the bill repeals existing legal language that previously assigned oversight of veterans' education services to the Department of Education. This includes the repeal of RSA 21-N:8-a, II(e)(4) and RSA 188-G:8, which pertained to the Department of Education's role in veterans' education and services approval. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of July 28, 2025.
