What’s in it
AI summary If the veterans trust fund has less than $75 million, more money from interest and the lottery will go to the commission of veterans affairs to help veterans and their families. Once the fund reaches $75 million, the state will stop transferring money from the lottery to the fund. This change also adjusts how money is distributed to county directors of veteran affairs based on the fund's balance.1
