AB 935 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: repealing expired programs within the Department of Veterans Affairs; definition, terminology, and grammatical changes for the Department of Veterans Affairs, mental health services for post-traumatic stress disorder; reporting on rules proposed by the Department of Veterans Affairs; asset calculation for determining eligibility for veterans assistance payments; and deceased veterans’ graves (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Veterans Affairs).

AB 935 updates Wisconsin's veterans affairs statutes by repealing expired programs and making administrative clarifications. It modifies definitions (like "permanently and totally disabled veteran"), updates mental health service reporting requirements for PTSD, and adjusts asset calculations for veterans' assistance payments. The bill also adds new requirements for the Council on Veterans Programs to submit annual reports and mandates the department to post information about depleted uranium exposure benefits online. These changes primarily affect veterans seeking benefits, VA staff managing programs, and the Council on Veterans Programs. The bill focuses on correcting outdated language and improving administrative processes within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
