This bill amends various sections of Louisiana law to include the United States Space Force in the definitions of the United States Armed Forces. Specifically, it updates the definitions of "Veteran," "Active member of the United States Armed Forces," and "Disabled veteran" across multiple statutes, ensuring that the Space Force is recognized alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and National Guard. The bill also modifies the definitions related to military personnel and obligations in educational programs, as well as in the context of licensure for individuals with military training.

In addition to the inclusion of the Space Force, the bill makes several technical amendments to existing legal language, such as changing "Air Forces of the United States" to "Air Force" and updating the terminology used in various definitions. These changes aim to modernize the legal framework and ensure that all branches of the armed forces are appropriately represented in Louisiana law.
