What’s in it
AI summary If the veterans trust fund has less than $75 million, the state will use its interest and some lottery money to provide benefits for veterans and their families. This change replaces older rules about how much money is moved into the fund based on different balance levels. Once the fund reaches $75 million, the state will stop transferring money from the lottery fund.1
