Florida Gov. DeSantis Speaks at Nursing Home, Signs Veteran-Focused Bills Into Law
- On June 6, 2025, in Port Charlotte, Governor Ron DeSantis signed three bills designed to enhance support for Florida veterans during an event held at a state veterans' nursing facility.
- These bills address challenges veterans face with benefits, long-term care, and mental health awareness amid rising veteran suicide rates from 2001 to 2020.
- One bill limits pay for unaccredited representatives helping veterans with claims, another allows veteran nursing home bed designations and consolidation within 100 miles, and a third requires a DVA outreach study and mental health training.
- DeSantis stated that the bills target those who exploit veterans and emphasized Florida’s leading role nationwide in supporting veterans, while also honoring the 81st anniversary of D-Day.
- The new laws took effect immediately or will start July 1, 2025, and are intended to enhance protections, care access, and awareness of benefits for Florida veterans and their families.
