Representatives of the TNVET member organizations met in Nashville on June 3rd, 2023.   We moved up this year’s meeting as we want to approach the Governor’s office with a budget request item, instead of asking the legislature.

The following are the TNVET legislative agenda items agreed to by unanimous consent, per constitutional bylaws:

1. Electronic Voting for Active Duty.
2. Medical Cannabis
3. Restoration of the 2nd free auto license plate for 100% disabled veterans
4. Identify and Implement processes/procedures that document what the state is accomplishing in hiring qualified veterans within its departments.
5. Tax Equalization – Changing state law calculations to stop penalizing 100% disabled qualify veterans for property tax relief based on yearly market value fluctuations.

Details on the above Initiatives can be found at https://tnvet.org/legislative-success/2024-legislation/
