Establishes a program for the sharing of veteran contact information
This bill creates a state program to coordinate veteran contact information across multiple government agencies. It requires agencies providing services like healthcare, housing, employment, or tax benefits to ask individuals about veteran status during intake. Veteran status details are protected as confidential information and can only be used to connect veterans with benefits or referrals to the Department of Veterans' Services. The program directly affects veterans seeking state benefits and state agencies delivering those services.
