More veterans would be allowed to shop at discounted on-base stores under legislation introduced Thursday in the Senate.

Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, and John Boozman, R-Ark., introduced the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018 to extend commissary and exchange benefits to more veterans.

It would also extend eligibility to veteran caregivers.
