Overview
This bill proposes creating a secure database within the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to store digital copies of veteran separation documents, such as DD-214 forms. Veterans and their immediate family members can voluntarily submit these documents, which would then be returned to them. The database would be accessible only to public agencies for determining veteran eligibility for benefits, and it would be protected from public access under existing record laws. It also establishes penalties for misuse of information obtained from the database.
