Bill > SB1057

This bill establishes a comprehensive set of military civil rights for current and former military members and their families, encompassing protections in various aspects of life. The bill outlines ten specific rights, including the right to full citizenship benefits, freedom from discrimination in public spaces, employment, housing, and healthcare, and protections against unfair treatment. It mandates that public bodies provide equal research, education, and advocacy resources for military civil rights and include military members in diversity and equity measures. The bill also seeks to protect military personnel's privacy, ensure dignified representation in media, prevent blame for high-level government decisions, and require fair consideration of military experience in employment, housing, and educational contexts. Additionally, the bill directs the Attorney General to develop guidelines for public bodies to implement policies that respect these military civil rights and to create funding recommendations to support these protections. The proposed legislation aims to recognize and safeguard the unique experiences and contributions of military service members and their families by establishing a formal framework of civil rights and protections.
