| From: | Representative Tracy Pennycuick |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Reforming the PA State Veterans Commission |
I plan to introduce legislation that will expand the composition, powers, and duties of the Pennsylvania State Veterans’ Commission. My bill would make changes to the Commission to allow any veteran organization or individual veteran to apply for membership for a four-year term. The members would be selected by the House of Representatives, Senate, and Governor. The Chairman of the Commission would be elected by the Commission members. The Commission would be tasked with advising the Adjutant General, the Deputy Adjutant General, along with the Governor and the General Assembly’s Veterans Affairs Committees, on all matters pertaining to the status, welfare, benefits, employment, and support of veterans and veterans’ programs in the Commonwealth. Please join me in cosponsoring this effort to improve the Commission by bringing more unique knowledge and skills which augment the knowledge and skills of the current commission make- up, in order to guide the Commonwealth more effectively in addressing the needs of our state’s diverse veteran population and their families. |
