HSB 521: HSB 521

What it does

_____ under honorable conditions or retired; a person who has served at least years with the Iowa national guard or reserve forces of the United States and continues to do so; a member of particular military or civilian groups who served in certain conflicts; or an Iowa resident who served in specific military conflicts or on federal active duty, other than training, in the United States armed forces and was discharged under honorable conditions. This bill redefines “veteran” for purposes of Code chapter by extending the requirement of Iowa residency to all categories of veterans, eliminating references to specific conflicts, and including a citation to the definition of “veteran” under federal regulations (a person who served in the active military, naval, air, or space service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable).
