Bill Summary

For legislation relative to protecting veterans. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand existing laws in Massachusetts to provide additional protections for veterans. Specifically, it proposes to amend Chapter 272 of the General Laws to add the term "veteran" after instances of "physically handicapped persons" and to insert the term "or veteran status" after references to "disability." This would extend certain anti-discrimination and accessibility protections to veterans in addition to individuals with physical disabilities.
