Creates a women veterans history trail
This bill establishes a Women Veterans History Trail in New York State to honor and highlight the contributions of female service members. It directs state agencies to work together to identify and designate specific locations, such as museums, memorials, and historic sites, for inclusion in the trail. The legislation also requires the state to gather public input from local communities and veterans' organizations to recommend sites for the trail and to create a free digital platform for sharing information about these locations. The law will take effect ninety days after being signed into legislation.
