This legislation gives authority to the Executive Director of the Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs to use the term Delaware Office of Veterans Services when carrying out the work of the Commission. This will enable the Executive Director and other staff of the Commission to conduct business under a banner that better describes their role as providers of services to Delaware veterans and their families. Applying the name Delaware Office of Veterans Services also serves to distinguish the office from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and will help alleviate confusion among members of the public.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Commission Of Veterans Affairs.
