Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to including veterans in the definition of military status for purposes of unlawful discrimination
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to expand the definition of "military status" to explicitly include veterans, meaning individuals who have previously served in the U.S. military or state military service and have been released from that service. This change is intended to protect veterans from unlawful discrimination by ensuring their past military service is recognized as a protected characteristic under the law, similar to current protections for active service members. The Executive Law, which this bill modifies, is a New York state law that prohibits discrimination in various areas.
