Ron DeSantis Signs Two Bills To Support Veterans TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Today, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Florida HB 725 and CS/CS/HB 1329 into law. The bills expand benefits available for veterans. “Florida is committed to remaining the most military- and veteran-friendly state in the nation,” DeSantis said. “We are proud to support those who have bravely served our country, and today’s legislation will help ensure that veterans and their families have the resources they need to successfully transition into civilian life with their loved ones by their side. It will also provide more benefits to veterans and educate future generations on the sacrifices made by service members.” House Bill 725 expands the eligibility for admissions to a veterans’ long-term care facility to include spouses or surviving spouses of qualifying veterans. According to DeSantis’ office, the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs has 1,102 skilled nursing and assisted living beds in nine state Veterans’ Nursing Homes across the state, and currently is in the process of adding a tenth home that will give Florida the most state-operated facilities in the nation.

Increases Veterans Florida’s board of directors from nine to leven members, with a new appointee allocated to both the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Revises the Veterans Employment and Training Services Program to: Match veterans and spouses with businesses within their preferred market and industry; Encourage entrepreneurship and growing veteran-owned small businesses; Prioritize grant funds for training, certification, and licenses; Provide that businesses participating in the Veterans Employment and Training Services Program may also receive a grant under any other state-run program; and Authorize Veterans Florida to assist state agencies in recruiting veteran talent into their workforce and maximize veteran access to benefits, services, training, and education.
