New York City Council

Sponsor

Robert F. Holden

What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Expand eligibility for New York State Veterans Tuition Awards to all Veterans residing in New York State, regardless of active combat service (A.9205A/S.8596A).
