S 8146 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Directs the department of veterans' services to conduct a study about veterans' employment review

Senate Bill S 8146 directs the New York State Department of Veterans' Services to conduct a comprehensive study on veterans' employment opportunities and incentives within the state. This study, to be completed by December 31, 2027, will involve consultation with state labor and civil service departments, as well as veteran and labor organizations. It will examine the current system of awarding civil service credit, analyze potential new criteria for such credits (like military occupational specialty or combat experience), and review existing employment protections for veterans. The bill also tasks the study with exploring methods to recruit veterans displaced from federal employment after January 20, 2025, and recommending additional incentives for employers to hire and retain veteran employees.
