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 and all programs, benefits, and services provided to military service members, veterans, and their families by various State Executive Branch entities. 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 key 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 effective delivery of services to military personnel and their families, conduct evaluations of existing programs, and analyze accessibility and effectiveness of services. Each relevant Executive Branch department will appoint a liaison to the board, who will provide biannual reports detailing their services and budgets. The board is required to submit a comprehensive report to the Governor and Legislature within nine months of its formation, followed by annual reports with findings and recommendations for improvements. All reports will be made available on the Department's website, and the Adjutant General will request necessary funding in the annual budget to support the board's activities.
