           COMMENTS  

           Purpose.   According to the author, veterans are legally able to 
          use their military experience to apply for state civil service 
          jobs, but their unfamiliarity with the state personnel board and 
          its bureaucracy makes it difficult for them to understand the 
          procedures.  The author argues with the growing effort to 
          encourage veterans to use the resources of the California 
          Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet), this bill will give 
          CalVet the ability to provide information about state 
          promotional exams to job seeking veterans.
