S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7761 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y June 3, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. BENEDETTO, HAWLEY, FARRELL -- read once and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to enacting the "veterans employment act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new article 17-A to read as follows: ARTICLE 17-A VETERANS EMPLOYMENT ACT SECTION 369. SHORT TITLE. 369-A. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. 369-B. DEFINITIONS. 369-C. TEMPORARY HIRING. 369-D. DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES. 369-E. REGULATIONS. S 369. SHORT TITLE. THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY BE CITED AS THE "VETERANS EMPLOYMENT ACT". S 369-A. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND VETERANS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THIS STATE FROM THEIR MILITARY POSTS, MAKING THE EMPIRE STATE HOME TO ONE OF THE LARGEST VETERAN POPULATIONS IN THE COUNTRY. SHOCKINGLY, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR POST-9/11 VETERANS IN NEW YORK WAS 10.7% IN TWO THOUSAND TWELVE, WHICH IS NEARLY ONE PERCENT HIGH- ER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AND HIGHER THAN THE STATE'S OVERALL 8.2% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. THE LEGISLATURE HAS FOUND PREVIOUSLY THAT IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE STATE TO ENSURE THAT RETURNING VETERANS HAVE EMPLOY- MENT OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE UPON THEIR SEPARATION FROM MILITARY SERVICE. THE STATE ALREADY ENCOURAGES PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO HIRE MILITARY VETERANS THROUGH TAX CREDITS AND OTHER ECONOMIC INCENTIVES. IN ADDITION, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD10818-03-3
