An Act relative to protecting veterans
This bill expands legal protections for veterans in Massachusetts by adding them to specific categories of individuals eligible for certain rights. It amends three sections of the state's General Laws to include veterans alongside physically handicapped persons and those with ancestry ties in contexts involving public accommodations and employment. The changes ensure that veterans receive the same protections previously granted to other protected groups under these specific statutes.
