The bill designates the state of Michigan as a "purple heart state" to honor and express gratitude for the courageous individuals who have been wounded or killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This designation serves to recognize the sacrifices made by these service members, which are essential for maintaining the sovereignty of the United States.

The new legal language inserted into the bill emphasizes the state's commitment to acknowledging the valor and dedication of its veterans. There are no deletions from current law in this bill.
