Bill > H3145

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 4 of the General Laws, specifically section 7, forty-third clause, which defines the term "veteran." The change involves modifying the criteria for who qualifies as a veteran by striking out the existing language in part 3 and inserting new language. The new definition will require a person to have been discharged from active service under honorable conditions and to have served in any branch of the United States armed forces, including the army, navy, marine corps, coast guard, national guard, or air force. This amendment aims to clarify and potentially broaden the definition of a veteran for the purposes of state law.
