HB 1724 - Currently, subject to appropriations and upon the recommendation of a panel, the Adjutant General has the power to disburse grants from the Missouri Military Family Relief Fund to the families of certain members of the National Guard or the reserves of the Armed Forces. This act states that the Adjutant General also has the authority to provide financial assistance or services with money from the fund. A member of the reserves of the Armed Forces no longer must have been called to active duty as a result of September 11th attacks in order for such member's family to qualify to receive the grant money or financial assistance.
