To establish a state board to provide for the administration of the assets in the post funds and the posthumous funds of Michigan veterans' facilities. A post fund is a fund for receiving gifts from individuals or organizations. A posthumus fund hold money from the estates of veterans who die without heirs. Money in the funds is used for member activities, community education programs, community relations activities, meetings and seminars, revolving programs and other uses. The bill was introduced after a dispute in which the state Department of Military and Veterans affairs refused to authorize spending post fund money on a carnival in Grand Rapids.
