Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the definition of "veteran" for certain state pension benefits. Currently, eligibility requires service during specific war dates or locations. If passed, this bill would allow any citizen and resident of the state honorably discharged from active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, Reserve components, or the New Jersey National Guard in federal active duty status to be considered a veteran for these pension benefits.
