Bill > S01242

This bill revises the New York State Veteran's Memorial and Monument Registry to make it more accessible and easier to navigate, establishing it as a searchable and filterable online database maintained by the Department of Veterans' Services in collaboration with various state agencies, historical organizations, and veteran groups. The registry will now include detailed information about veteran memorials and monuments, such as their location, history, significance, and any available images, and will be searchable by criteria like veteran, conflict, era, or battle. Municipalities will be able to submit information for memorials and monuments at any time, and the registry will be updated promptly, with the Department also tasked with annually disseminating information about the registry through various channels, including its website and a mobile application, to ensure governing bodies and veterans' service agencies are aware of its existence and content.
