“From exempting military pensions from state income tax, to waiving pet adoption fees for veterans to creating special vehicle plates for Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart recipients, the General Assembly has worked over the years to make Rhode Island even more welcoming to veterans and active military members,” said Chairman Felag (D-Dist. 10, Warren, Bristol, Tiverton). “This bill is another way our state can show our appreciation and gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our military service members who have protected our nation and continue to do so.”
