revise the process for requesting a veteran's certificate of discharge from a county register of deeds.

This bill revises how veterans and authorized individuals request certified copies of military discharge documents from South Dakota county registers of deeds. It allows veterans, veterans' service officers (including county and tribal representatives), Department of Veterans Affairs staff, legal representatives, accredited veterans' organizations, and next of kin (if the veteran has died) to obtain these copies without charge. Requesters must submit a form verifying their eligibility, provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill specifically excludes copies showing a veteran's discharge type (e.g., honorable or dishonorable) from free distribution.
