Senate Bill 1670 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to update the definitions and references related to armed forces personnel. Key changes include the inclusion of the "space force" in the definitions of "armed forces personnel," "active military service," and "uniformed service(s)," as well as the addition of "guardians" to the list of military members. The bill also specifies that individuals who have been honorably discharged from any branch of the armed forces or reserve components must be invited to interview for job positions when applicable.

Additionally, the bill revises several provisions concerning the rights and responsibilities of military personnel, such as exemptions from certain registration requirements for commissioned officers in the medical and dental corps of the armed forces. It also mandates that county registers must register discharges of military personnel without charge. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the recognition and support for armed forces members and their families within Tennessee law.
