North Central Chapter PVA Legislative Program works closely with our National PVA Staff, PVA members, and Congressional Delegation from throughout the Region on issues affecting veterans and the disabled community. North Central Chapter’s mission is to ensure that all veterans receive quality health care and timely access to VA Medical Centers and VA Clinics. We work closely with local, county, state, and national policy makers in support of legislation to benefit veterans and other disabled individuals.

One of our most notable efforts related to local legislation was our effort in passing a statewide building code for the state of South Dakota. NCCPVA collaborated with the SD Building Code Officials, The SD American Institute of Architects, and several other organizations to make this effort a success. Before the passage of this legislation many areas in rural South Dakota did not follow any type of guideline or standard in new construction or alteration projects. This new building code will help to provide more accessible buildings and facilities for PVA members and all people with disabilities living in the state of South Dakota
