HB 2652 (H-AM 2) would have a fiscal impact to the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Some of the anticipated annual costs are included in the Fiscal Note for HB 2647. HB 2652 increases costs by $102,800 for 1 staff to develop a program to identify companies trained on circumstances unique to veterans seeking employment and continuing support during employment. The $102,800 is in addition to the $650,000 identified for the provision of HB 2647. The HB 2652 costs are not part of the FY18 introduced budget.
