AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the definition of "Veteran" in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 32, Section 1, to explicitly allow all active duty military personnel to purchase creditable military time, meaning time served in the armed forces that can be counted towards retirement benefits, regardless of when that service occurred. This change aims to broaden eligibility for purchasing military service time, which is a benefit that can increase an individual's pension upon retirement.
