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 section 2 (MCL 35.602), as amended by 2016 PA 217; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.
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.
