The bill seeks to amend the Michigan Military Act by adding a new section, 203a, which defines terms related to military service. Specifically, it introduces definitions for "active duty combat," which includes participation in armed conflicts, hazardous services related to such conflicts in foreign countries, and duties through instruments of war. Additionally, the bill defines "official declaration of war" as a declaration made by the United States Congress in accordance with the Constitution.

This amendment will not take effect unless it is accompanied by the enactment of House Bill No. H00559'25 from the 103rd Legislature. The inclusion of these definitions aims to clarify the scope of military service recognized under Michigan law, potentially impacting benefits and legal considerations for service members.
