Adding a citation to the code of federal regulations to the definition of veteran and disabled veteran.

HB 2273 updates Kansas definitions of "veteran" and "disabled veteran" by adding specific citations to federal regulations (38 C.F.R. § 3.7 and 38 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq.). This change aligns Kansas state law with federal standards for determining veteran status, directly affecting individuals seeking state benefits or services based on military service. The bill modifies existing statutes to include these federal references in the definitions, ensuring consistency between state and federal criteria. This is a technical clarification to the legal definitions, not a new benefit or program.
