This concurrent resolution expresses the legislature's support for expanding transportation services available to South Dakota veterans who need to travel for medical care, particularly those living in rural areas. The resolution highlights challenges like volunteer driver shortages and the need to help veterans with lower disability ratings access care, and calls for growth in programs like the Highly Rural Transportation Grant to better serve this population.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
