LC 4172 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise decennial veteran study laws

This bill reorganizes Montana's decennial veterans' long-term care needs study by shifting primary responsibility from the Department of Public Health and Human Services to the Montana Veterans' Affairs Division. The study will gather data on veteran demographics, long-term care requirements, and community service needs through surveys, focus groups, and collaboration with stakeholders like veterans' organizations and caregivers. Key provisions require the Veterans' Affairs Division to create a study plan and budget estimate before beginning, provide regular updates during the process, and submit a final report with recommendations to the state administration and veterans' affairs committee. The bill also mandates an analysis of existing veterans' home services and evaluates the need for additional state veterans' cemeteries.
