Bill > S02071

This bill requires the New York State Department of Labor to create and maintain a comprehensive list of available careers and job openings specifically for veterans in the state, with the goal of supporting veterans in their employment efforts. The bill defines a veteran according to the existing definition in the veterans' services law and mandates that the labor commissioner develop and continuously update this job listing, which must then be shared with the Department of Veterans' Services. The list will be prominently displayed on the Department of Veterans' Services website, making it easily accessible for veterans seeking employment opportunities. Additionally, the bill amends the veterans' services law to incorporate this new job listing requirement into the department's existing responsibilities of providing employment resources and information for veterans. By creating a dedicated, centralized resource for veteran job opportunities, the bill aims to facilitate easier job searches and improve employment prospects for veterans in New York State.
