- Require that Veterans who are in the VA’s Individual Unemployability category and the surviving spouse of a Veteran who dies while on active duty receive the same property tax exemption as a Veteran rated at 100% disabled.
- Provide legislation to allow electronic gaming terminals in Congressionally Chartered Veterans Service Organizations facilities.
- Designate $4M of State lottery ticket revenue to fund County Veterans Service Officers.
- Modify Indiana code concerning Homeless Veterans, replace the current Veterans as defined by the VA with “Hoosier Veteran and Veterans discharged under other than dishonorable conditions.
