Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Governor Sandoval Signs
Veterans Legislation Friday
Governor Brian Sandoval will sign various veterans legislation bills into law at 10am on Friday, June 12 at American Legion's Darrell Dunkle Post 1 in Reno.
The signing will include the Northern Nevada Veterans Home which was approved under public works bill of SB491. The funds this bill approved will be federally matched to complete the second veterans home in Nevada and will service approximately 95 veterans and family members.
Additional bills to be signed include requirements for reporting duties for various oversight bodies (AB482), a tax exemption for employing veterans (AB71), and the veterans employment preference which provides opportunities for employers in the preference of hiring veterans or a spouse and for regulatory bodies to develop opportunities for reciprocity of licensure for veterans (AB89). A five member Women Veterans Advisory council will be signed into law (AB241) and will conduct studies and provide advice to regulatory bodies on matters relating to women veterans.
The event is to be held at the first American Legion post in Nevada which was charted in 1919. These bills are significant steps forward for Nevada's veterans and the public and media are invited and encouraged to attend.
