This bill establishes a Military and Veterans Affairs Oversight Board within the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The board is tasked with overseeing veteran service officers, various entities within the department, and all programs and services provided to military service members, veterans, and their families by state agencies. It will consist of heads or designees from veteran organizations with 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) tax-exempt status, with co-chairs from prominent veteran organizations leading the initial meetings. Members will receive reimbursement for expenses and a per diem for attending meetings, with provisions for removal if they fail to meet attendance requirements.

The board will coordinate a strategic plan to ensure awareness and effective delivery of services to military personnel and their families. It will analyze existing programs for effectiveness and accessibility, and provide biannual reports from state agencies detailing their services and budgets related to veterans. The board is also responsible for submitting a comprehensive report to the Governor and Legislature within nine months of its formation, followed by annual reports with findings and recommendations for improvements in services. All reports will be made available on the Department's website, and the Adjutant General will request necessary funding in the department's annual budget.
