An Act incentivizing veterans to reside in the Commonwealth
This bill amends Massachusetts law to change the residency requirement for veterans from five consecutive years to just one year. The change directly affects veterans who wish to establish residency in the state for benefits or other purposes. By shortening the time needed to qualify as a resident, the legislation aims to make it easier for veterans to settle in the Commonwealth.
