Bill Summary

Relative to the definition of the word “veteran”. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "veteran" in Massachusetts state law to include any person whose last discharge from active service in the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, or Air Force was under honorable conditions. This change broadens the legal definition of "veteran" to encompass a wider range of military service members, ensuring that the benefits and recognition associated with veteran status are accessible to a larger group of individuals who have served their country.
