The bill mandates the establishment of a database by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to store digital copies of veteran separation documents, such as DD-214 and NGB-22 forms. This database will serve as a central repository accessible only by public agencies for the purpose of verifying the eligibility of veterans and their family members for benefits. The submission of these documents will be voluntary, and the original documents will be returned promptly to the veteran or their family member. Importantly, no fees will be charged for the submission of documents, although a nominal fee may be applied for the return of documents via mail.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the database and the separation documents will not be classified as government records under the Open Public Records Act, ensuring restricted access to the information contained within. Any misuse of the information will result in penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment. The Adjutant General will oversee the access criteria and promote the database's use, while also being responsible for adjudicating any disputes regarding access. The act is set to take effect six months after its enactment, allowing for necessary administrative preparations.
