LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
November 2024
Well, the election is over! A new Congress will be seated in a couple of months. The implications of that are far reaching and unknown. The current Congress is still operating on a continuing resolution which means funding for the MOAA initiatives remain in jeopardy, and even the Richard Star Act is in limbo. Further, if this Congress doesn’t pass the pending legislation, everything goes back to square one as the new Congress starts with a blank slate.
Time is running out for the current Congress to pass this legislation – it is time to remind them that they need to take action NOW. Links to our legislators, and prepared emails are readily available on the MOAA legislative action web page. If this Congress doesn’t act, we will need to let the new Congress know that caring for America’s veterans is Congress’s duty-bound requirement.
And again, use the MOAA advocacy links to let our legislators know that we have “Never Stop(ped) Serving!” and neither should they.
