S 2349 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to outreach to veterans

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow the Secretary of Veterans' Services to reimburse local municipalities for outreach expenses related to veterans' services. Specifically, it authorizes the reimbursement of up to $2,000 per municipality, covering 75% of the costs incurred by local departments for veteran outreach activities. The legislation directly affects local governments and veterans' service officers who organize community support programs for veterans. By providing partial financial coverage, the bill aims to encourage municipalities to maintain or expand their outreach efforts without bearing the full cost themselves.
