Very happy to report the final Legislative passage of H222. This bill sets aside $20m in a better interest bearing account, where that interest will be used annually for veterans transition programs when from the military to the private sector with a priority to our wounded heroes. Homeless vets, vets in need of special housing, re-education assistance, Veterans Home upgrades and more will now have a long term funding source to help those coming home or struggling after they return. Thanks to my friends and partners, Rep. George Eskridge and Matt Ellsworth in JFAC/LSO for helping put this together and driving it home. Now, to the Governor for a final signature!
