Bill > S07405

This bill amends the civil service law in New York to provide additional competitive civil service exam points to certain veterans. Disabled veterans will be entitled to receive 10 additional points on the exam, while non-disabled veterans who have received certain medals or ribbons (such as the Combat Action Ribbon, Combat Infantryman Badge, or Combat Medical Badge) will be entitled to 5 additional points. The bill also clarifies the definition of "disabled veteran" to include those who have been certified by the U.S. Veterans Administration or a military department as entitled to receive disability payments and have been awarded certain combat-related medals or ribbons.
