Senate Bill 720 proposes to enhance the staffing and funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) in Wisconsin by adding three full-time equivalent (FTE) caretaker positions dedicated to the management of the state's three veterans cemeteries. The bill stipulates an increase in the DVA's appropriation account, with an additional $131,800 allocated for the fiscal year 2025-26 and $170,800 for the fiscal year 2026-27. This funding is intended to support the newly authorized positions, ensuring that the cemeteries are properly maintained and managed.

The bill reflects a commitment to improving the care and upkeep of veterans' resting places, recognizing the importance of honoring those who have served. By increasing both the number of authorized positions and the associated funding, the legislation aims to enhance the operational capacity of the DVA in fulfilling its responsibilities towards veterans cemeteries.
