Attorney General Opinion No.

The Honorable L. Candy Ruff State Representative 40th District 321 Arch Leavenworth, Kansas 66048

Dear Representative Ruff:

You request our opinion on (1) whether K.S.A. 73-1211 precludes the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs (KCVA) itself from prosecuting claims on behalf of veterans before the federal Veterans' Administration, and (2) whether K.S.A. 2006 Supp. 73-1234, as amended by L. 2007, Ch. 151, § 1, requires the KCVA to prosecute all veterans claims only through other veterans service organizations that are participating in the service grant program administered by the KCVA.

• Kansas…
