What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current state employment relations law, “veteran” is defined to mean

categories of persons who have served in the U.S. armed forces in various capacities.

This bill expands the definition of veteran to include a person who would otherwise

qualify under the existing law, but who was discharged under other than honorable

conditions solely on the basis that the person chose not to receive the COVID-19

vaccine.
