Veterans (National Guard & Reserve)

Senate Concurrent Resolution 1055 is a commemorative measure that honors the life and service of Major General Glen W. 'Bill' Van Dyke, a retired Arizona National Guard leader who passed away in April 2026. The resolution formally recognizes his nearly 38 years of military and public service, including his roles as a pilot, commander of the 162nd Fighter Group, and Adjutant General of Arizona. It expresses the legislature's condolences to Van Dyke's family and friends while acknowledging his contributions to the state and nation.

SB 1809 amends Arizona law to require the Adjutant General to include specific details about the National Guard's postsecondary education reimbursement program in their annual fiscal report to the governor and legislature. This bill directly affects Arizona National Guard members who participate in the education reimbursement program, as it mandates clearer reporting on the program's administration. The key provision modifies Section 26-102 to specify that the annual report must include a detailed statement of the program's status under Section 26-181, subsection D. F. This is a procedural change focused on transparency, not creating new benefits or altering the reimbursement program itself.
