The newly renovated Indiana Veterans Center is now open in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS - Day in and day out, we experience freedoms that would not exist without the selfless service and sacrifice of Hoosier veterans. As a public servant and in my role as the chair of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and Public Safety, I remain committed to supporting the thousands of men and women who serve and have served our country.

For example, I authored a law to make it easier for veterans to enter law enforcement or become a firefighter after they finish their military careers. Before this law, the maximum hiring age in Indiana for firefighters and police officers was 36 years old. If an individual enlisted in the military at 18 years old and qualified for retirement after 20 years of service, they would be ineligible to enter these professional fields upon returning home. To ensure they had an opportunity to serve, we increased the max hiring age to 38.
