IL HB3255

Amends the Department of Veterans' Affairs Act to expand service officer requirements to include supervisors and field managers within the field division, not just individual service officers.

Requires all service officers, supervisors, and field managers to be honorably discharged veterans who served during a time of hostilities with a foreign country.

Establishes four qualifying conditions for veterans: at least 6 months of service, service for the duration of hostilities regardless of length, discharge on hardship basis, or release from active duty due to service-connected disability with honorable discharge.

Defines "time of hostilities with a foreign country" to include any period with a Congressional declaration of war or a Presidential proclamation/executive order for an emergency condition where armed forces expeditionary or campaign service medals are awarded.
