The bill would require the Department of Information Resources to establish an internet site using TexasOnline allowing veterans to access information on state and federal veteran benefit programs, require the site to allow veterans to electronically file for selected state veteran benefits (including electronic signing of the filing by the veteran and electronic acknowledgement of the filing). The bill would require the Texas Veterans Commission to include the internet website address of TexasOnline benefits information, a toll-free telephone number on all of its forms, creation of an electronic version of state veterans benefits booklet, and provide a hard copy of the state veterans booklet to each veterans county service officer and personnel office of each state or federal military installation in the state of Texas.
