Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the veterans' services law, in relation to the establishment of a veteran career assistance program within the SUNY and CUNY systems
AI Summary
This bill establishes a veteran career assistance program within the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) systems designed to provide veterans with targeted employment support services. Specifically, the state commissioner, in collaboration with the chancellors of SUNY and CUNY, will create a program that offers veterans assistance with resume writing and employment placement. The program will leverage existing resources such as campus veterans service offices, career centers, and opportunity centers to implement these services, ensuring that no additional funding is required beyond currently available resources. The bill will go into effect 120 days after becoming law, which will give the universities time to develop and implement the career assistance program for veterans.
