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 the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and Veterans of Foreign Wars for 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 conduct evaluations of existing programs and services, focusing on accessibility, employment opportunities, health care options, and other critical areas. The board is required to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within nine months of its formation, followed by annual reports detailing its findings and recommendations for improvements. Additionally, the Adjutant General will request necessary funding in the department's annual budget to support the board's activities.
