A bill to amend 1946 (1st Ex Sess) PA 9, entitled “An act to create the Michigan veterans’ trust fund, and to define who shall be eligible to receive assistance therefrom; to provide for the disbursement of the income thereof and surplus therein; to create a board of trustees, and to prescribe its powers and duties; to provide for county and district committees, and their powers, duties, and expenses; to prescribe penalties; and to make appropriations to carry out the provisions of this act,” by amending sections 3b and 4b (MCL 35.603b and 35.604b), section 3b as added by 2011 PA 282 and section 4b as added by 1995 PA 27.
House Bills 5260 and 5273 update the Michigan Veterans’ Trust Fund by strengthening its governance and oversight structure while expanding eligibility by removing wartime service requirements and clarifying residency and service criteria, with both measures contingent on related legislation.
