Chamber Passed·4/8/26

Illinois HB4891 amends the Department of Veterans Affairs Act to revise qualifications for service officers.

Illinois HB4891 modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs Act by altering the qualifications for service officers and their supervisors. It removes the requirement that these individuals must have served during a time of hostilities with a foreign country and meet specific conditions. Instead, it mandates that all service officers and supervisors, including the field manager, must be currently serving reservists or national guardsmen in good standing or honorably discharged veterans from the Armed Forces of the United States, active or reserve components.
