344, Acts of 1924). From 1929, the Veterans Relief
Commission administered the fund (Chapter 134,
Acts of 1929). The Commission was renamed the
Maryland Veterans Commission in 1935 (Chapter

1971). In 1977, the Commission was removed
from the jurisdiction of the Department of Human

(Chapter 895, Acts of 1977).

The Maryland Veterans Commission serves
