AI Summary

This bill conforms the definition of a veteran serving in the Vietnam war era to newly enacted federal law (H.R. 7105). It changes the start date of the Vietnam war era from February 28, 1961 to November 1, 1955, aligning it with the federal law that defines the Vietnam war era as any active duty service in the Republic of Vietnam between November 1, 1955 and May 7, 1975. This change impacts various state laws related to real property tax, executive and education laws, public health and housing laws, and social services, ensuring veterans who served during this expanded time period are eligible for the same benefits and programs as those who served during the previously defined Vietnam war era.
