The Military and Veterans Code, in Division 4, Chapter 5, Article 5, provides for veterans’ affairs commissions.

Section 975 authorizes the board of supervisors of any county to create and appoint members to a veterans’ affairs commission either as an independent agency or in conjunction with a California National Guard members’ commission or a veterans’ memorial commission, or in any combination of these commissions.

Section 975.5 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide for one paid veterans assistant position within the office of the county veteran service officer for the County of Los Angeles., County of San Diego, and City and County of San Francisco. The veterans assistants employed are required to conduct outreach programs in order to make veterans aware of readjustment counseling services and alcohol and drug abuse programs offered by community-based organizations and city, county, and federal agencies. .
