Requires DMVA assist discharged service members who have diagnosed service-connected mental health condition with petitions to change discharge designation.

Summary

The bill directs the state’s DMVA to assist former service members who received a non‑honorable discharge and have since been diagnosed with a service‑connected mental health condition (or were discharged solely because of sexual orientation or gender identity) in filing a petition with the U.S. VA to change their discharge to honorable. Assistance is free, confidential, and those whose discharge is upgraded receive the same state benefits as honorably discharged veterans.
