This is a notice that NONE of the provisions of Senate Bill 577 affect the children of veterans who entered the military prior to 30 June 2011. Information previously published in print, on any web site, or transmitted verbally, which indicated that those children would come under the provisions of SB 577 effective on 1 July 2011 or 1 July 2012 or any other date, is hereby withdrawn. The provisions of SB 577 pertaining to the children of disabled veterans apply ONLY to the children of veterans who initially enter the military after 30 June 2011, therefore, no “grace” period is required for the implementation of SB577.
