Commanders task force establishment
This bill creates a permanent Commanders Task Force to advise Minnesota's governor, legislature, and Department of Veterans Affairs on issues affecting veterans and their families. The task force will be composed of elected leaders from eight major veteran service organizations operating in the state, including the American Legion, VFW, and Disabled American Veterans. Members will meet regularly to discuss policy matters and act as a communication bridge between state government and veteran groups, but they will not receive any payment or expense reimbursement for their service.
