MINOR
The bill was amended to change the recipient of the required report from the 'veterans' services director' to the 'commissioner of veterans' services.' Additionally, the report must now be published on the 'department's website' instead of the 'division's website.' These changes update the administrative titles to reflect current organizational structures and clarify where the report should be made public.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's applicability remains the same; it still requires a report on services for veterans with service-connected disabilities, but the specific office receiving and publishing the report has been updated.
REQUIREMENT
The report must now be submitted to the 'commissioner of veterans' services' instead of the 'veterans' services director'.
The report must now be published on the 'department's website' instead of the 'division's website'.
