Bill > A02564

This bill directs the Division of Military and Naval Affairs in New York to establish comprehensive security policies for National Guard and Air National Guard recruiting centers, with the goal of protecting these facilities from potential terrorist attacks. Specifically, the division is required to implement several security measures, including installing metal detectors, bulletproof glass, video surveillance equipment, and barricades to limit vehicle access; potentially relocating recruiting centers to more secure locations; and taking additional protective measures deemed necessary to safeguard employees, recruits, visitors, and other individuals at these facilities and at Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) locations. The bill also mandates that the division submit an annual report to key state legislative leaders and committee chairs detailing the security improvements being made or planned. The act is designed to enhance the physical safety of military recruitment and training facilities in response to potential security threats, and it will take effect immediately upon passage.
