S 3929 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates Military and Veterans Affairs Oversight Board.

S 3929 creates a Military and Veterans Affairs Oversight Board within New Jersey’s Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The board, composed of heads of veteran service organizations (like the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans), oversees all state programs, benefits, and services specifically for military members, veterans, and their families across all state agencies. Key provisions require state agencies to submit biannual reports on their programs and annual budget details to the board, which must analyze service effectiveness - including accessibility, healthcare, housing, and employment - and develop recommendations for improvements. The board will also produce annual reports for the Governor and Legislature, posted publicly, to address gaps in veteran support.
