veterans
Under current law, a veterans home commandant is an unclassified employee of DVA and may be terminated at will. This bill makes veterans home commandants classified employees in the state civil service who may only have their employment terminated for cause.
Also under current law, DVA is assigned three unclassified division administrators. This bill makes one of those division administrator employees classified. The bill also adds two new division administrator positions assigned to DVA. The intent of that increase in division administrator positions is to create one unclassified chief legal counsel position and one unclassified public information officer position in DVA.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
