Bill > S02623

This bill amends the veterans' services law to expand the responsibilities of state and local veterans' service agencies by explicitly including the "employment of veterans with disabilities program" in their duties. Specifically, the bill updates three sections of the law to require both state and local veterans' service agencies to assist veterans with employment and re-employment services, now specifically mentioning the employment of veterans with disabilities program under section fifty-five-c of the civil service law. Additionally, the bill modifies the veterans' employment portal requirements, adding the New York state department of civil service to the list of governmental programs that will be linked, and maintaining the requirement that this information be updated annually. The changes aim to enhance support and resources for veterans, particularly those with disabilities, by ensuring they have comprehensive access to employment services and information through state and local agencies.
