This bill amends South Dakota law to expand the acceptable forms of verification for military service when applying for a veteran designation on a commercial driver license or commercial learner's permit. Currently, the law requires proof of military service and honorable discharge to be submitted in specific formats, including a certificate from a county veterans service officer or various military forms such as DD-214.
The proposed changes will allow additional forms of verification, although the specific new forms are not detailed in the provided text. The intent of the bill is to streamline the process for veterans seeking this designation, making it easier for them to provide proof of their service and receive the benefits associated with the veteran designation on their commercial driving credentials.
