Committee approves bill directing veteran resource signage be made available to employers
Summary
Senate Bill 497 directs veterans’ resource posters be made available to employers with 50 or more employees; the committee advanced the bill by a do-pass recommendation.
Jason Azarenko presented Senate Bill 497 (sponsored by Senator Wallace) to require the state to produce informational materials for employers to post on employee boards about veteran services. Azarenko said the law would apply only to businesses with 50 or more employees and listed items such as substance-abuse treatment, mental-health resources, workforce training, tax benefits, and crisis lines as examples of content to be included on the posters.
Committee members confirmed the posters would be available at no cost; Azarenko said employers could request printed posters or print materials themselves and could adapt branding if they preferred as long as required items were present.
The committee voted by voice to give the bill a do-pass recommendation; the chair announced the ayes had it and the bill was advanced. No public testimony for or against was recorded in the transcript.
