Co-Sponsors:  Ross, Boucher

This bill allocates a portion of the Veterans' Commission
Capital Improvements Trust Fund for the issuance of $750,000
annually in matching fund grants for veterans service officer
programs.  The funds may be issued to any federally-chartered
veterans' organization that is certified by the Veterans
Administration to process claims within the administration
system.  Any organization receiving funds must have maintained a
veterans service officer presence within the state for 3 years
preceding the issuance of grants.  The Missouri Veterans
Commission must provide applications, establish grant
requirements, and approve all grants.  The grants will be made
available annually and issued in July of each year.
