Veterans: educational assistance.
- Establishes a new state agency to accredit and oversee educational programs for veterans.
- Requires organizations offering veteran education awards to obtain authorization from the new state agency.
- Authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to create and update regulations for veteran education programs.
The California Assembly Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs proposes establishing a new state-level accrediting body to oversee educational programs for veterans through the creation of the California State Accrediting Agency for Veterans Education (CSAAVE) within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The legislation outlines CSAAVE's role in implementing both federal and state requirements for organizations seeking to offer educational awards under federal veterans' education programs. The Department of Veterans Affairs would maintain authority to adopt and modify regulations in response to changes in state or federal law, with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs serving as the signing authority for CSAAVE actions under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Organizations providing educational benefits to veterans would need to obtain authorization from CSAAVE, which would evaluate compliance with federal statutes and regulations governing veterans' education programs. While the bill creates this new oversight structure, it does not require additional state appropriations for implementation, indicating that the agency would operate within existing departmental resources.
