Plain Language Summary

This bill appropriates $10 million per year for the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to fund grants for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) chapters. The grants, capped at $1 million per chapter per year, will help DAV organizations repair and expand their facilities and provide additional resources to disabled veterans.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters argue this bill strengthens support for disabled veterans by improving the facilities where they receive services and community support.
• •The funding helps DAV chapters across North Carolina better serve their members through renovated spaces and additional resources, and the grant structure ensures funding is distributed geographically across the state rather than concentrated in one area.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents may question whether $10 million annually is the best use of state General Fund resources during other budget priorities, or whether the funds might be used more efficiently through alternative approaches.
• •Some may also raise concerns about whether state funds should directly support specific nonprofit organizations, and whether similar veterans' service organizations outside the DAV should receive comparable support.
