Memorializes Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act to ensure combat-wounded veterans receive full military entitlements.
The Major Richard Star Act aims to ensure that combat-wounded, medically retired service members receive full military entitlements without reduction. The act would eliminate the current offset that prevents veterans with combat-related disabilities from receiving both military retirement pay and disability compensation concurrently. This resolution, passed by the Louisiana Legislature, urges Congress to take necessary actions to pass the Major Richard Star Act, which has bipartisan support and cosponsors in both the House and Senate.
