292.11 County and city veteran service officer.—
(1) Each board of county commissioners may employ a county veteran service officer; provide office space, clerical assistance, and the necessary supplies incidental to providing and maintaining a county service office; and pay said expenses and salaries from the moneys hereinafter provided for. The governing body of any city may employ a city veteran service officer; provide such office space, clerical assistance, and supplies; and pay expenses and salaries. A county or city veteran service officer must be a veteran who served as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States during a period of war, as defined in Title 38, U.S.C.; who served at least 18 months’ active duty in the Armed Forces; and who was separated from such service under honorable conditions, or the surviving spouse of any such veteran. Any honorably discharged wartime veteran who was so discharged for service-connected or aggravated medical reasons before serving 18 months of active duty; who completed a tour of duty other than active duty for training, regardless of the length of the tour; or who satisfied his or her military obligation in a manner other than active duty for training or reserve duty shall be eligible for employment as a county or city veteran service officer. Every county or city veteran service officer, in order to be eligible for employment as a county or city veteran service officer, shall have a 2-year degree from an accredited university, college, or community college or a high school degree or equivalency diploma and 4 years of administrative experience.
(2) Any county or city desiring to employ a county or city veteran service officer under the provisions of this section may notify the Department of Veterans’ Affairs of its intention to do so and may furnish the department with the name or names of any person or persons applying to fill such position, along with documentation supporting the qualifications thereof. The department shall thereupon certify to such county or city the name or names of candidates for such position who meet the requirements and qualifications prescribed by the department. The county or city may thereupon employ any person or persons so certified by the department. Duties, compensation, and terms of employment shall be prescribed by the board of county commissioners or, where applicable, by the governing body of the city.
(3) Any person employed by any county or city under the provisions of this section shall, from the time of his or her employment, be subject to such rules as the Department of Veterans’ Affairs may from time to time prescribe. Appropriations made by any county or city, or both, for the purposes set forth in this section are hereby declared to be appropriations for a county or municipal purpose, as the case may be.
(4) The Department of Veterans’ Affairs is directed to establish a training program for county and city veteran service officers. Every county or city veteran service officer employed under this chapter shall attend the training program established by the department and successfully complete a test administered by the department prior to assuming any responsibilities as a county or city veteran service officer. The department shall further establish periodic training refresher courses which each county or city veteran service officer must attend and complete as a condition of remaining in employment as a county or city veteran service officer. County and city veteran service officers shall be reimbursed for travel expenses, as provided in s. 112.061, in fulfilling the requirements of this section.
(5) The provisions of subsection (1) shall not apply to, or in any way affect, the employment of any county or city service officer who was so employed prior to July 1, 1974.

  1. E. Band of Cherokee Indians v. U.S. Dep't of Interior

    534 F. Supp. 3d 86 (D.D.C. 2021)   Cited 2 times
    As a housekeeping matter, while Interior certainly could have articulated its interpretation of section 292.11( a) more clearly in both the administrative record and its briefing here, the Court notes that the interpretation it adopts appears to accord with the agency's view. See Bowman Transp., Inc. v. Ark.-Best Freight Sys., Inc., 419 U.S. 281, 286, 95 S.Ct. 438, 42 L.Ed.2d 447 (1974) (courts may "uphold a decision of less than ideal clarity if the agency's path may reasonably be discerned") (citing SEC v. Chenery Corp., 332 U.S. 194, 196, 67 S.Ct. 1760, 91 L.Ed. 1995 (1947) ). In its Decision Letter, Interior stated that the 1993 Settlement Act "does not include language that either requires or authorizes the Secretary to take land into trust for the Nation within a specific geographic boundary; therefore, the Nation must also meet the requirements of Section 292.12." Decision Letter at 6 (emphasis added). From the use of the adverb "also," as opposed to something like "instead," the Court can "reasonably discern" that the agency (correctly) viewed paragraphs 292.11( a)(1) and 292.11( a)(2) as non-exclusive alternatives rather than mutually exclusive…

  2. Grossmanns6 Family Real Estate LLC v. Great Lakes Synergy Corp.

    Case No. 20-CV-905 (E.D. Wis. Nov. 2, 2020)
    The WDNR issued Grossmanns6 and Great Lakes (at least for a portion of the Property) responsible-party letters in accordance with Wis. Stat. ch. 292, known as Wisconsin's spills law. The law defines a responsible party as a person (like Grossmanns6 and Great Lakes) "who possesses or controls a hazardous substance which is discharged or who causes the discharge of a hazardous substance." See Wis. Stat. § 292.11(3); see also Wis. Admin. Code NR § 700.03(51). A responsible party is legally required under the spills law to notify the WDNR upon the discovery of any such discharge, see Wis. Stat. § 292.11(2)(a), and to "take the actions necessary to restore the environment to the extent practicable and minimize the harmful effects from the discharge to the air, lands or waters of this state," see Wis. Stat. § 292.11(3).

  3. City of Council Bluffs v. U.S. Dep't of the Interior

    368 F. Supp. 3d 1276 (S.D. Iowa 2019)
    25 C.F.R. § 292.11. In response to public comments during the rule-making process, the DOI explained, "[t]he regulations include a contingency for legislation that requires or authorizes the Secretary to take land into trust for the benefit of a tribe within a specific geographic area because in such scenarios, Congress has made a determination which lands are restored." Gaming on Trust Lands Acquired after October 17, 1988, 73 Fed. Reg. 29354-01, at 29364 (May 20, 2008). Plaintiffs interpret § 292.11 as requiring the DOI to find that the Tribe's restored lands are limited to those the PRA "requires or authorizes" the Secretary to take into trust, namely those in Knox and Boyd Counties. The Court stresses that § 292.11 interprets the IGRA, not the PRA.

    85-95 (Ops. Fla. Atty. Gen. Nov. 20, 1985)
    "Each board of county commissioners may employ a county veteran service officer; provide office space, clerical assistance, and the necessary supplies incidental to providing and maintaining a county service office; and pay said expenses and salaries from the moneys hereinafter provided for." (e.s.) See, s. 292.15, F.S., which empowers the county to levy a tax not to exceed one-half mill, or to use available funds on hand and unappropriated, whether derived from taxation or otherwise, to provide a veteran service officer and maintain a veteran service officer in the county and to "disburse said moneys at such times and in such manner and under such terms and conditions as may be provided by resolution of said boards of county commissioners. . . ." And see, s. 292.11(3) providing that any appropriation made by a county for the purposes set forth in s. 292.11 is declared to be an appropriation for a county purpose.

  5. AGO

    79-29 (Ops. Fla. Atty. Gen. Mar. 22, 1979)
    Once a city or county determines that it will employ a veteran service officer under the provisions of s. 292.11, F. S., it may notify the Division of Veterans' Affairs of its intention and request that the division furnish it with the names of those persons qualified to fill such position, whereupon the division shall certify to the city or the county the names of candidates who meet the requirements and qualifications prescribed by the division. See s. 292.11(2). The duties, compensation, and terms of employment of such officers `shall be prescribed by the board of county commissioners or, where applicable, by the governing body of the city,' s. 292.11(2); however, any person employed by a county or city `shall, from the time of his employment, be subject to such rules as the Division of Veterans' Affairs may from time to time prescribe,' s. 292.11(3). Moreover, the division is directed to establish a training program for county and city veteran service officers. Section 292.11(4) provides in part:

  6. Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians v. United States Dep't of Interior

    Civil Action 19-1544 (ABJ) (D.D.C. Sep. 30, 2022)
    If a tribe has been restored pursuant to an act of Congress that also specifies the land that will accompany the restoration, that land automatically qualifies as “restored lands.” Id. § 292.11( a)(1). However, if no land is set aside by legislation or if the tribe is restored other than through an act of Congress, additional requirements must be met for the land to qualify as “restored lands.” See id. § 292.11( a)(2). First, the tribe must demonstrate that the land is “located within the State . . . where the tribe is now located” and that it has a “modern connection[]” to the land. Id. § 292.12(a). Second, the “tribe must demonstrate a significant historical connection to the land.” Id. § 292.12(b). This is defined in the regulation to mean that “the land is located within the boundaries of the tribe's last reservation under a ratified or unratified treaty, or a tribe can demonstrate by historical documentation the existence of the tribe's villages, burial grounds, occupancy or subsistence use in the vicinity of the land.” 25 C.F.R. § 292.2. And finally, the “tribe must demonstrate a temporal connection between the date of the acquisition of the land” and the…
