AI Summary
This bill officially recognizes the United States Space Force as a distinct branch of the U.S. armed forces by adding it to various sections of Tennessee law that define or refer to military service, personnel, or components. This means that the Space Force will now be included alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in legal contexts within Tennessee, ensuring that provisions related to military members and their service apply equally to Space Force personnel. The bill amends numerous titles of the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), which is the compilation of all current Tennessee laws, to reflect this change, impacting areas such as definitions of armed forces personnel, military service, and exemptions for those in military service.
