Governor Wes Moore signed the “Keep our Heroes Home” Act into law.

It does several things like expanding the amount of military retirement income that’s tax exempt.

It was at a limit of $5,000 and now it’s up to $40,000.

Another lets spouses or dependents of a veteran get buried in a state veterans cemetery.

“We often forget that for many of the men and women who chose to wear the uniform of this country, there is also a spouse who is part of that service, who participates in that service, whether it is seen or unseen,” said Moore.

A third opens up a study to look at speeding up licensing processes for veterans for certain civilian jobs.
