A 1134 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Women Veterans Coordinator in DMVA.

This bill establishes a Women Veterans Coordinator position within New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). The coordinator, required to be a veteran, will directly assist women veterans discharged under honorable conditions from U.S. military service (including the NJ National Guard) with issues like employment, housing, healthcare, and benefits access. Key duties include developing statewide support programs, creating informational materials for veterans and their families, and making annual recommendations to the Governor and Legislature about improving services. The role mandates quarterly meetings with women veterans and requires the DMVA to implement rules to support these efforts.
