Senate Bill 1879 amends the Government Code to require the Texas Veterans Commission to conduct a needs assessment every four years to identify specific high-priority needs of veterans and services available to address those needs, to determine the grant categories that correspond to those needs, and to identify any discrepancy between those needs and the services available to address them. The bill requires the commission, on completion of the needs assessment, to incorporate the results into the commission's process for awarding grants from the fund for veterans' assistance.
