The bill specifies that veterans who served for at least three years, including in the Illinois National Guard, qualify for a 5-point preference. It also mandates verification of veteran status through documentation like a DD214 or NGB-22. Veterans with a service-connected disability or those who received the Purple Heart qualify for a 10-point preference.
