Bill > S05234

This bill includes the Space Force as being members of the armed forces or veterans eligible for certain credits and benefits that are available to other active and veteran members of the armed forces. Specifically, it amends various laws to: 1. Add the Space Force to the definition of "armed forces of the United States" and "armed forces." 2. Include members of the Space Force in the definitions of "veteran" and other related terms across various laws, making them eligible for the same credits, benefits, and protections afforded to other military members and veterans. 3. Ensure that references to the military, naval, and air forces are updated to include the Space Force where appropriate. The bill aims to ensure that members of the newly established Space Force are treated the same as other branches of the U.S. armed forces when it comes to eligibility for certain state-level credits, benefits, and protections.
