Easier discharge upgrades for Nevada veterans

The Nevada Department of Veterans Services must share existing materials on how to apply for a discharge upgrade or change the narrative reason. It must give these materials to any Nevada agency, resource center, or program that serves veterans and service members. The Director also conducts outreach and offers help to lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender veterans and their spouses and dependents. This makes it easier to find guidance and get help that may affect access to VA benefits tied to discharge status.
