Summary
H 3835 creates a legal definition for “reserve veteran” – someone honorably discharged from the National Guard or Reserve after at least 20 years of service. It requires the state to recognize these individuals in ceremonial events, while explicitly stating they cannot claim veterans’ benefits just because they meet this definition. The measure aims to give symbolic acknowledgment without expanding benefit eligibility.
