New Jersey S1885 amends the state's eligibility criteria for veterans' benefits, removing the necessity for service during specific wartime periods or in designated locations.

This change affects eligibility for property tax deductions, civil service preference, and other benefits. The bill also repeals outdated provisions related to wartime service, aligning the law with the new eligibility standards.
