Veterans: other; Michigan veterans coalition fund; create. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 208'25

SB 207 creates the Michigan Veterans Coalition Fund in the state treasury to support veterans' services. The fund receives and manages money from various sources (not lapsing to the general fund), with the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency administering it to establish and run a grant program. This program will provide funding to organizations serving Michigan veterans, directly benefiting veterans through community-based support services. The bill requires Senate Bill 208 to pass first before taking effect.
