LEGISLATIVE UPDATES

The legislature adjourned Sine Die on April 26, 2009.  The next regular legislative session is scheduled to begin on January 11, 2010. 

Bills delivered to the Governor now must be acted upon within 20 days. 

This year, many veteran and military bills focused on technical changes to existing laws rather than new programs or benefits.  However, there are still important improvements being made to veterans services in our state.  Find out more about the bills that made it through in this 2009 Veterans Bill Summary.
