SB 67 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Veterans Affairs, board membership revised, appointment and duties of commissioner provided for

SB 67 revises the membership structure of the state's Veterans Affairs board. It specifies that the board will consist of the Governor (as chair) plus two new members: one appointed by the House Minority Leader and one by the Senate Minority Leader. The bill replaces previous membership language to formalize these appointments. This change directly affects who serves on the board, ensuring bipartisan representation through minority leader appointments. The bill is currently pending committee action in the Senate.
