For legislation to recognize reserve veterans as veterans in the Commonwealth. Veterans and Federal Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to recognize reserve veterans as veterans in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It defines "reserve veteran" as a person whose last discharge from the National Guard or Reserves was honorable and who served for at least 20 years. While reserve veterans will be honored and recognized as veterans, they will not be eligible for benefits solely based on this status. The bill also requires the commissioner to develop an outreach program to effectively recognize reserve veterans and include them in honorary and ceremonial events for veterans throughout the Commonwealth.
