A 1748 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes task force to study issues facing returning members of the United States Armed Forces and New Jersey National Guard and make recommendations on how State should address issues.

This bill establishes a task force within New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to study challenges faced by service members returning from deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, including those in the New Jersey National Guard. The task force, composed of state agency leaders and five public members with relevant expertise (such as mental health support or veteran homelessness), will hold public hearings statewide and review current programs affecting veterans' physical, mental, and social well-being. It must issue a final report with recommendations - including potential legislation - within six months of organizing, with the task force dissolving 30 days after the report is submitted. The bill does not enact new laws but creates a structured process to identify solutions for veterans' needs.
