Relating to eligibility for loans from the Veterans' Land Board.

HB 2327 updates the definition of "Veteran" for eligibility for loans from Texas' Veterans' Land Board. It adds a new category for Texas National Guard members who completed 184 days of active service on the Texas-Mexico border mission, while maintaining existing requirements like 90 days of active duty or 20 years of service. The bill requires applicants to have been a Texas resident at enlistment and currently reside in Texas, and explicitly excludes current state legislators from eligibility. This change directly affects Texas veterans, including National Guard members with border service, who apply for these loans. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
