Bill > A08089

This bill establishes a requirement for the New York State Department of Veterans' Services to annually publish a comprehensive law book that compiles all state statutes related to veterans, service members, and their families. The law book will be more than just a simple collection of statutes; it will include annotated commentary, case law citations, general counsel opinions, and agency regulations to help veterans and their advocates better understand the legal provisions. The compilation will be made available in both print and electronic formats, with the electronic version prominently displayed on the department's website. Additionally, print copies will be provided free of charge to veterans, service members, their family members, and advocates upon request. The department is also required to reference this compilation during seminars they conduct, ensuring wider awareness and accessibility of the legal resources available to veterans and their families.
