Relates to covered operations with regard to certain calculations of compensation
This bill amends New York's military law to clarify the definition of "covered operation" for compensation purposes. It specifies that covered operations include federally designated military actions (like "Operation Enduring Freedom" or homeland security missions) and allows New York's implementing agency to designate additional operations on a case-by-case basis. The change directly affects military personnel whose service qualifies under this definition for compensation benefits. The bill does not alter existing compensation rates but refines which military activities count toward eligibility. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
