The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6748, seeks to amend Title 27 of the general statutes to provide a pathway for individuals who received a general discharge or an other-than-honorable discharge from the armed forces due solely to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Under this bill, these individuals would be allowed to petition the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to have their discharge status recorded as "honorable" on any state veteran's registry.

The bill aims to address the injustices faced by veterans who were discharged under circumstances related to their identity, thereby allowing them to receive recognition and benefits that come with an honorable discharge. The key insertion in the bill is the provision that enables the petitioning process for these individuals, while there are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text.
