The bill defines a "veterans' organization" as any organization recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs under specific federal code. This measure is designed to reduce operational expenses for eligible veterans' organizations by ensuring they receive more favorable pricing for essential communication services, effective upon the act's enactment.
