SB 933 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Department of Military Affairs, further providing for advisory councils for veterans' homes.

This bill modifies the composition of advisory councils for veterans' homes in Pennsylvania to ensure greater resident involvement. It requires that three members of each council be selected from a list of nominations provided by current residents, with at least one member being a family member of a current or former resident. The change aims to strengthen the connection between the homes and the people they serve by giving residents a direct voice in the advisory process. This adjustment applies specifically to the Department of Military Affairs and impacts the governance structure of state-funded veterans' facilities.
