This bill establishes a permanent study commission in New Jersey to examine the various statutory definitions of "veteran," "disabled veteran," and "service-disabled veteran." The commission will consist of five members appointed by the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the General Assembly, and the General Assembly Minority Leader, with the Governor's appointee being an employee of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The commission's primary purpose is to analyze the existing definitions, identify any restrictive requirements, and recommend changes to create more uniform and less restrictive definitions.

The study commission will compile and analyze the definitions, consult with the military community for input, and prepare an annual report detailing its findings and recommendations. The first report is due within 12 months of the commission's organization, and subsequent reports will follow annually. The bill emphasizes the need for clarity in the definitions to ensure that veterans can easily understand their eligibility for benefits and services.
