🌻 Update on current Veterans Legislation 🌻

There has been a lot of movement at the State Capitol this past week on veteran-related legislation:

🔹 HB 2274 (Purple Heart Day recognition and Homeless Veterans ID Card) has passed out of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs and is now headed to the Senate Floor.

🔹 HB 2214 (enacting the Safeguarding American Veteran Empowerment Act, which would limit compensation for assisting veterans with benefits matters) is expected to be worked in the House Veterans and Military Committee on Thursday, February 12. At this time, no amendments have been released, so the outcome remains uncertain. HB 2214 does not require these agencies (Claim Sharks) to be accredited by the VA.

We urge all VFW Department of Kansas Members and our Patriots of the Auxiliary to contact your local state House and Senate representative ask them to defeat HB2214 and instead advance and support House Bill 2646 and ask the Senate to advance and support SB 433. Both bills require agencies that assist veterans with their disability claims to be accredited.

If you would like to reach out to the members of the House Committee on Veterans and Military. You may find the members and their official contact information on this link:

📅 Legislative Turnaround – February 19
“Turnaround” is a key mid-session deadline in the Kansas Legislature. Most bills must pass out of their house of origin (House or Senate) by this date to remain active for the session. Bills that do not meet this deadline are generally considered dead for the year unless exempt.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Overmiller Family. John was an amazing man.
