The California Assembly Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs proposes establishing a new state agency to oversee educational programs for veterans, creating the California State Accrediting Agency for Veterans Education within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The agency would implement federal requirements and administer state standards for organizations seeking to provide veterans' education awards under federal law. The Department of Veterans Affairs would have authority to adopt and modify regulations to align with changes in state or federal statutes. Under the proposal, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would serve as the signing authority for the new agency, operating within the state's Administrative Procedure Act framework.
The measure builds upon existing veterans' education benefits by adding an administrative structure to evaluate and authorize education providers. While the bill creates new oversight responsibilities for the Department of Veterans Affairs, it does not require additional appropriations, indicating the department would incorporate these functions within current resources.
