Bill > SR209

This resolution, passed by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, formally acknowledges and celebrates the patriotic service and contributions of Kentucky's over 370,000 veterans to their communities and the state's economy. It emphasizes the importance of protecting the benefits veterans have earned, such as retiree pay, healthcare, and disability compensation, from being unfairly reduced or eliminated as a consequence of them exercising their First Amendment right to free speech. The resolution highlights that this right to free speech is a fundamental American value that veterans have historically protected, and that any punitive action against veterans' benefits would negatively impact them and their families, underscoring the principle that disenfranchising one veteran can affect all veterans.
