Veteran service providers.
- Extends the deadline for Veterans Affairs to report on veteran service provider certification rules to April 2026.
- Maintains existing certification requirements for nonprofit organizations serving veterans and their families.
- Requires veteran service providers to submit detailed documentation including audit reports and tax records.
Senator Archuleta's proposal to modify California's veteran service provider certification program extends the Department of Veterans Affairs' deadline for submitting its progress report on certification regulations from April 1, 2019, to April 1, 2026.
The bill maintains current certification requirements for organizations seeking to provide supportive services to veterans and their families. These requirements include demonstrating a history of effective service delivery, maintaining nonprofit status under federal tax code sections 501(c)(3) or (c)(19), and submitting documentation of fiscal and management capacity through three years of independent audit reports. Certified providers must continue supplying the department with organizational documents, including articles of incorporation, IRS determination letters, and taxpayer identification numbers.
The Department of Veterans Affairs retains its responsibilities for processing certification applications, maintaining a public online directory of certified providers, and overseeing provider compliance with state filing requirements. The department must ensure providers meet standards outlined in the Attorney General's Guide for Charities and relevant sections of the Business and Professions Code.
