Establishes the Alex R. Jimenez New York state military immigrant family legacy program
This bill establishes the Staff Sergeant Alex R. Jimenez New York State Military Immigrant Family Legacy Program within the Department of Veterans' Services to assist military members, veterans, and their families with immigration matters. The program creates a network of liaisons who will connect eligible individuals with legal resources to help them secure immigration status, including citizenship, and will coordinate efforts with various government agencies and community organizations. Additionally, the bill requires these liaisons to maintain a resource clearinghouse and submit annual reports detailing the program's activities and the demographics of those assisted.
