Several U.S. lawmakers have introduced various pieces of commonsense legislation aimed at providing better support and benefits for veterans, active service members, law enforcement officers, and police dogs. Representative Guy Reschenthaler introduced legislation to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for military families. Senator John Cornyn proposed a bill to ensure service members who contributed to the Montgomery GI Bill are compensated adequately. The Major Richard Star Act, highlighted by Senator Mike Crapo, aims to address injustices faced by over 50,000 veterans, including those in Idaho, by ensuring they receive proper benefits. Representative Randy Feenstra introduced the Honoring Police Officer and K9 Service Act to ensure police dogs receive quality care after their service. Additionally, Representative Andy Barr's Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act focuses on securing benefits for families of fallen officers. Senator Amy Klobuchar praised legislation led by Senator Tester to extend full retirement benefits to combat-injured veterans with less than 20 years of military service.

Veterans who sacrificed for our country deserve to receive the full benefits they’ve earned. Thank you @SenatorTester for leading this legislation to extend full retirement benefits to combat-injured veterans with less than 20 years of military service. https://t.co/96F413hEja
Our police and law enforcement officers deserve our strongest support and deepest appreciation. That’s why I introduced legislation to help our law enforcement cover the cost of trips to the vet for their police K9s. I proudly #BackTheBlue and their four-legged partners! #IA04
Our duty to protect those who've protected us doesn't end with retirement. My bill, the Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act ensures families of fallen officers receive the benefits they rightfully deserve. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/tR7twP4kta
Our police and law enforcement officers — including their four-legged deputies — deserve our strongest support. My Honoring Police Officer and K9 Service Act will ensure that police dogs receive the quality care that they deserve after a lifetime of service. #IA04
More than 50,000 veterans, including hundreds in Idaho, could benefit from the changes brought by the Major Richard Star Act. It would correct a severe injustice and boast wide bicameral support. I look forward to the enactment of this measure. https://t.co/Oo7GMIfHVl https://t.co/N6eFQK49BT
Our service members shouldn’t have to cut through layers of bureaucratic red tape just to receive financial benefits they are owed. That's why I introduced a bill to ensure those service members who paid into the Montgomery GI Bill are made whole again.…
As a veteran myself, I understand the important role our loved ones play in the lives of our nation’s heroes. That's why I introduced commonsense legislation that cuts bureaucratic red tape for families like the Krisfalusys and ensures we provide the utmost support for them. https://t.co/QKN52EvOcc
