Bill > A04751

This bill amends the New York Veterans' Services Law to enhance support for veterans' employment, specifically by expanding the responsibilities of state and local veterans' service agencies to explicitly include information about the "employment of veterans with disabilities program" under section fifty-five-c of the civil service law. The bill updates the veterans' employment portal to include a virtual link to the New York state department of civil service, in addition to existing links to the U.S. Department of Labor and New York state Department of Labor. Both state and local veterans' service agencies will now have a duty to assist veterans with employment and re-employment services, with specific reference to the employment of veterans with disabilities program. These changes aim to provide more comprehensive and targeted employment support for veterans, particularly those with disabilities, by ensuring that relevant information and resources are readily accessible and that service agencies are explicitly tasked with helping veterans navigate employment opportunities and programs.
