What’s in it
AI summary County leaders can currently raise extra money through taxes to pay for basic county services if their regular budget isn't enough. This new law would allow them to use those extra funds to run a county veterans affairs commission and provide services to veterans.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, to the extent the basic levies are insufficient to meet a county’s needs, the county board of supervisors may certify supplemental levies for general county services. This bill adds the maintenance and operation of a county commission of veteran affairs, including providing services to veterans, to the list of permissible supplemental levies.
