Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the executive law, in relation to enabling veterans and reservists to receive benefit information upon applying for or renewing a driver's license
AI Summary
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law and the Executive Law to enable veterans and reservists to receive information about benefits when applying for or renewing a driver's license. Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish a process to refer driver's license and non-driver identification card applicants who request and obtain a "veteran" notation on their license or ID card to the Division of Veterans' Services, consistent with existing law. The bill also requires state agencies providing assistance in areas like health, mental health, and employment to advise individuals who identify as veterans, including those with the veteran notation on their license or ID, that the Division of Veterans' Services and local veterans' service agencies can provide information and assistance regarding federal and state veterans' benefits.
