HCS/SB 325 - This act compels the board of each public school district to require each district school to devote one class period to an observance of the significance of Veterans Day.
Current law permits veterans of WWI, WWII, and the Korean War who entered the military before graduating from high school to receive an honorary high school diploma. The act deletes references to specific wars and allows any veteran who left high school to enter the military to apply for an honorary diploma.
This act repeals the current law requiring the Recorder of
Deeds to maintain a list of all military discharges and requiring
the records to be open to the public. This act replaces the
aforementioned language with new provisions which regard the
county recorder of deeds' responsibilities pertaining to the
filing of certified military discharge documents, including a
prohibition on any reproduction or use of military discharge
documents for any commercial or speculative purposes.
