Bill > S07765

This bill requires the New York State Department of Veterans' Services to create and maintain an annual 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, citations to relevant case law, general counsel opinions, and agency regulations to help veterans and their advocates better understand their legal rights and benefits. The compilation will be made available in both print and electronic formats, with the electronic version prominently displayed on the department's website. Print copies will be provided upon request to veterans, service members, their family members, and advocates. The department is also required to reference this compilation during seminars provided to veterans. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
