An Act authorizing amending, updating, and aligning the Commonwealth’s definition of veteran
Senate: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill revises the state’s legal definition of “veteran” to include full‑time National Guard or Reserve members, World War II merchant mariners, reserve members with at least six years of drilling service, and anyone awarded a service‑connected disability or who died in service. It also defines “active duty,” “armed forces,” and “uniformed services,” and lists categories of people who will not be considered veterans, such as those with dishonorable discharges. The change is intended to align the state definition with federal standards and ensure appropriate eligibility for veteran benefits.
