AI Summary
This bill seeks to define the terms "Gold Star Parent" and "Gold Star Spouse" in Massachusetts state law. The bill would amend current law to define a Gold Star Parent as a parent of a member of the armed forces whose death occurred due to injury, illness, or disease contracted during active service, not due to the member's own gross negligence or misconduct. Similarly, a Gold Star Spouse is defined as the spouse of a member of the armed forces whose death occurred under the same circumstances.
