Revises the Commission on Women Veterans to enhance its authority, roles, and coordination.
This bill revises the law establishing the Commission on Women Veterans in New Jersey. It removes affiliation-based appointments to ensure nominations are based on lived experiences and leadership. The commission will consist of 15 members, including 12 public members nominated by veteran organizations. Nine of these public members must be women veterans. The commission will focus on studying and reviewing the needs of women veterans, including housing, healthcare, job training, and outreach. Public meetings will be transcribed and posted on the Department of Veterans Affairs' website.
