Directing the capitol preservation committee to develop and approve plans for a registry kiosk of Kansas military forces killed in action or who died of wounds incurred during active duty to be placed within the state capitol, enacting the safeguarding American veteran empowerment (SAVE) act to limit compensation for assisting in veterans benefits matters, establishing the Kansas military affairs commission and prescribing the powers and duties thereof, expanding veterans preference in government employment to include current members of the national guard and such members' eligible spouses and permissive preference in private employment to include current servicemembers and such members’ eligible spouses.

Removed an exclusion that barred veterans with pay grade 04 or above from receiving preference, regardless of their disability status or combat-related retirement.

Adjusted the text to clarify that the exclusion for preference applies only to current active-duty members of the Kansas National Guard and reserve forces, not to retired veterans meeting specific criteria.

Reassigned line numbers and section headers to reflect the deletion of the previous exclusion clause.

The header was updated to include 'As Amended by Senate Committee' and 'As Amended by House Committee' to reflect the legislative history.

The order of the text was rearranged to group related definitions and provisions together, improving readability without altering the legal meaning.
