Expanded Economic Development Assistance for Veterans

New laws provide more economic development aid for veterans. PA 13-247 (§ 134) requires the Economic and Community Development Department to establish and maintain a registry of small business veterans own and control.

PA 13-63 opens the Veterans Subsidized Training and Employment Program to employers hiring any honorably discharged U.S. armed forces members who served for at least 90 days, regardless of whether that time was spent in combat. The program is run by the Labor Department.
