Updates definition of veteran to include discharged LGBTQ veteran; requires DVA develop review process for such veterans.

This bill updates New Jersey's definition of "veteran" to include individuals discharged under less than honorable conditions due to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or related conduct. It directly affects LGBTQ veterans who were discharged for these reasons, expanding their eligibility for state benefits and programs. The key mechanism requires the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs (DVA) to create a standardized review process to verify a veteran's status as a "discharged LGBTQ veteran," including an eligibility form. The bill amends existing statutes to formally incorporate this new definition into state law, ensuring these veterans qualify for benefits previously reserved for those discharged under honorable conditions.
