Directs the department of veterans' services to conduct a study about veterans' employment review
Bill A 8425 directs the New York State Department of Veterans' Services to conduct a comprehensive study on veterans' employment opportunities and incentives within the state. The study will involve consulting with several state agencies and veteran organizations. It aims to review the current system for awarding civil service credit to veterans, analyze potential new criteria for these credits, and assess existing employment protections. The bill also focuses on methods to help veterans, including those recently displaced from federal employment, transition into state employment and recommends additional incentives for employers to recruit and retain veteran employees. A report detailing the findings and recommendations must be submitted by December 31, 2027.
