The bill seeks to redefine the "period of service," clarify the definition of a "veteran" with specific service and residency requirements, introduce the term "combat veteran" for those eligible for certain medals or listed as missing in action, and specify "beneficiary" for survivors of deceased or missing veterans. It outlines "honorable service" as including honorable or general discharge, or separation under honorable conditions, and specifies residency criteria for eligibility.
