A host of bills before the State Legislature are dedicated to women veterans this year.
The women’s legislative caucus unveiled its 2012 package today that urges the State and Federal Government to support a veterans court in Hawaii.
The package also includes recognition of the Fisher House Foundation, which provides free or low-cost housing to veterans and families receiving treatment at military medical centers.
"We now are looking at women in the military and what can we do to help there because there definitely are some needs that need to be met and we’re very grateful to be able to partner with the women in the military."
The women’s legislative caucus is made up of 26 female lawmakers, or 34 per cent of the Hawaii State Legislature.
