Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

2026-04-30

The legislation would increase criminal penalties for crimes specifically targeting veterans, making punishments harsher for offenders who commit offenses against people who have served in the military. This would affect both the veterans who are victims of crimes and the individuals convicted of committing crimes against them, potentially resulting in longer prison sentences or steeper fines. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
