S 9529 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the employment of veterans with disabilities

This bill updates the New York veterans' services law to improve how the state supports veterans with disabilities in finding employment. It requires the state department to create and maintain an online portal that links to federal and state job resources, such as those from the U.S. and New York Departments of Labor. The law also clarifies the duties of state and local veterans' service agencies, ensuring they actively assist veterans and their families with employment services and related support. Additionally, local agencies are instructed to help families of service members on active duty connect with available state support systems. These changes take effect immediately upon passage.
