SB 448 (2026)
Increase veteran eligibility for state benefits based on discharge status
This bill is still active.
Changes the definition of veteran and expands eligibility for state benefits and programs that depend on veteran status, ensuring that individuals discharged under honorable conditions, including those with a general discharge under honorable conditions, are not excluded from eligibility.
As introduced, the bill also established a lifetime combination hunting and fishing license for state resident veterans, with a one-time fee adjusted according to the veteran's service-connected disability rating. The Senate voted to remove that part of the bill.
