Summary of Legislation: This bill requires that the Indiana Department of Labor (DOL) consult with the
Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs (IDVA) to create and distribute a veterans' benefits and services
poster. The bill provides that the veterans' benefits and services poster must contain certain information. It
also requires that Indiana employers with more than 50 full-time employees (or their equivalent) display the
veterans' benefits and services poster in a conspicuous place.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Summary: This bill requires DOL and IDVA to develop and distribute
a veterans’ benefits and services poster for businesses to display. This constitutes a one-time workload
increase for both DOL and IDVA, but the requirements are within each agency’s routine administrative
functions and should be able to be implemented with no additional appropriations, assuming near customary
agency staffing and resource levels. [Both agencies are funded by General Fund appropriations.] All state
agencies would be required to print and display the posters.
Additional Information: All posters and notices that are required to be posted by Indiana employers are
posted on the DOL website. Although commercially-produced versions of signs are available, DOL
recommends employers simply print the required signage. No additional expenditures should be required by
either DOL or IDVA to design or distribute the posters.
Explanation of State Revenues:
Explanation of Local Expenditures: Local units with more than 50 employees would be required to print
SB 15 1 and display the posters.
Explanation of Local Revenues:
State Agencies Affected: Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs, all agencies.
Local Agencies Affected: Local units with more than 50 employees.
