Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which raises the estate limit to $40,000, and allows counties to opt-out of paying the benefit to veterans whose estate is higher than the previous limit of $25,000. This provision is included to avoid violating the Headlee amendment prohibition on the state imposing unfunded mandates on local units of government.
