Provides certain veteran benefits to veterans of the global war on terror conflicts and those of certain military engagements served during certain periods.

This bill amends New Jersey law to expand the definition of "veteran" to include service in the global war on terror, specifically adding operations like Noble Eagle that were previously excluded. It changes the requirement from a 14-day in-country service standard to a 90-day active service requirement regardless of location. This change would make more individuals eligible for benefits including civil service hiring preferences, retirement system benefits, and property tax deductions. The bill affects multiple statutes that define veteran status for various benefits programs.
