                                BILL NUMBER:S6021

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to establish a workgroup to examine and make
recommendations on the security and protection of New York national
guard recruiting centers

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation creates a 13 member
workgroup to examine and make recommendations on the security and
protection of New York National Guard recruiting centers.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 creates a 13 member
workgroup consisting of the Adjunct General of the Division of
Military Affairs, the Commissioner of the Division of Homeland
Security and Emergency Services, the Superintendent of State Police
Chair of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homelands Security, and
Military Affairs, the Chair of the Assembly Committee on Veterans'
Affairs, four members appointed by the Governor, two appointed by the
Temporary President of the Senate, and two by the Speaker of the
Assembly. All appointees shall have expertise in the field of public
safety, terrorism or military affairs.

The workgroup shall examine and make recommendations including
providing sidearms or issuing permits to carry a concealed firearm to
full-time National Guard Employees at recruiting centers,. Further
requires consideration of the improving and strengthening of building
security through the installation of metal detectors, bulletproof

glass, video surveillance equipment and barricades. This section also
allows for the consideration of moving recruiting centers to armories
or other secure locations. This section also allows the workgroup to
consider any additional measures deemed necessary to protect
employees, recruits, visitors and other individual at New York
National Guard Recruiting Centers.

The workgroup shall convene by march 1, 2016 and issue recommendations
no later than December 1, 2016 and continue to issue periodic reports.
The Division of Military and Naval Affairs is empowered to consider
and implement the recommendations of the workgroup.  This section also
allows for an annual report to be issued to the Legislature.

Section 2 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION: When a crazed gunman opened fire on two military
locations in Chattanooga Tennessee it made it clear how unsafe those
individuals working in these locations are. This legislation makes
attempts at hardening National Guard Recruiting Centers as potential
targets. As of July 21, 2015 seven States have taken measures of
arming individuals at these recruiting centers. Some of these States
have also taken other measures to help to protect the employees and
recruits at these centers by hardening these potential targets from
attack. New York must take aggressive action to protect these
individuals, and this legislation seeks to do that. Creating a
workgroup of experts and empowering them to make the necessary changes
to defend the individuals employed and visiting these National Guard
recruiting centers from acts of terrorism is a necessity for this
State.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.


FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6021C

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act in relation to directing the division of military and naval
affairs to establish policies on the security and protection of New
York national guard recruiting centers

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

This legislation requires DMNTA to improve the security and protection
of New York National Guard Recruiting Centers as well as centers
serving the ROTC.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 requires the division of,Military and Naval Affairs to
establish policies ensuring security and protection of New York
National Guard Recruiting Centers and ROTC Centers from terrorist
attacks.

The division shall make improvements including providing sidearms or
issuing permits to carry a concealed firearm to full-time National
Guard Employees at recruiting centers, or employees at centers serving
the ROTC. Further requires the improving and strengthening of building
security through the installation of metal detectors, bulletproof

glass, video surveillance equipment and barricades. This section also
requires for the moving of recruiting centers to armories or other
secure locations.

The division shall issue an annual report to the Legislature stating
recommendations that are being implemented or will be implemented.

Section 2 is the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

When a crazed gunman opened fire on two military locations in
Chattanooga Tennessee it made it clear how unsafe those individuals
working in these locations are. This legislation makes attempts at
hardening National Guard Recruiting Centers as well as centers serving
the ROTC as potential targets. As of July 21, 2015 seven States have
taken measures of arming individuals at these recruiting centers. Some
of these States have also taken other measures to help protect the
employees and recruits at these centers by hardening these potential
targets from attack. New York must take aggressive action to protect
these individuals, and this legislation seeks to do that. Implementing
a division of empowered experts to make the necessary defensive
changes will ensure a safe environment from terrorist attacks for all
individuals at these National Guard recruiting centers and centers
serving the ROTC.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New Bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
