TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Jim Beach and Donald Norcross to allow the state Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs to raise outside funds specifically for the purchase of a community outreach vehicle was signed into law Wednesday by Governor Christie.

“Not all veterans are able to simply walk into their county office, the nearest VA hospital or make the drive to Trenton to receive the services they need,” said Beach (D-Camden), chairman of the Senate Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “In these cases, we need to be able to go directly to them. This outreach vehicle can be an essential tool to ensuring all our veterans get access to the care and services they deserve.”
