SB 117 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to services for veterans. (BDR 37-795)

SB 117 requires Nevada's Department of Veterans Services to share existing materials about military discharge upgrades with all veteran service agencies statewide. It specifically ensures LGBTQ+ veterans and their families can access clear information on changing their discharge status or narrative reason. The bill mandates that resource centers providing veteran services receive these materials to streamline assistance. This expands current outreach without creating new programs, making discharge upgrade support more consistently available.
