Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to providing scholarships for surviving dependent family members of New York state military personnel who have died while performing official military duties

AI Summary

This bill amends the Education Law to provide scholarships for the surviving dependent family members of New York State military personnel who have died while performing their official military duties. The bill removes the previous requirement that the death or severe disability must have occurred in a combat theater or combat zone, and instead specifies that it must have occurred in the performance of the individual's official military duties. The scholarships cover tuition expenses for attending the State University of New York (SUNY) or the City University of New York (CUNY) system.
