Bill > S01625

This bill directs the New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs to establish comprehensive security policies for New York National Guard and Air National Guard recruiting centers, with the primary goal of protecting these facilities from potential terrorist attacks. The division is required to implement several specific security measures, including installing metal detectors, bulletproof glass, video surveillance equipment, and barricades to limit vehicle access at recruiting centers and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) facilities. Additionally, the division has the option to relocate recruiting centers to more secure locations and take any additional protective measures deemed necessary to safeguard employees, recruits, visitors, and other individuals at these facilities. The bill mandates that the division submit an annual report to key state legislative leaders, including the Senate President, Assembly Speaker, and chairs of the veterans and military affairs committees, detailing the improvements made or planned under these new security provisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, emphasizing the urgent nature of enhancing security at military recruitment locations.
