Bill Summary
Relative to eligibility for the Medal of Liberty. Veterans and Federal Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Chapter 33 Section 67A of the General Laws to expand the eligibility for the Medal of Liberty. The new language adds that the medal can be awarded to individuals who "died as a result of a training accident in the line of duty," in addition to the existing criteria of being awarded for those killed in action. This change broadens the circumstances under which the Medal of Liberty can be granted to recognize members of the military who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
