S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 959 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 5, 2011 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. COLTON, PHEFFER, J. RIVERA, SCHROEDER, ABBATE, LUPARDO -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. SCARBOROUGH, SWEENEY, TOWNS, WEISENBERG -- read once and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to a veteran speaker education program within the division of veterans' affairs THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds that the defining moments of our nation's history came in wartime, especially during the great conflicts of the twentieth century. The legislature further maintains that it is imperative that all of society, and particularly young people, be aware of the contributions of those who participated in these conflicts as members of the armed forces. These men and women established a remarkable record of service and sacrifice. They were ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things to preserve and protect our nation and its cherished freedoms. Their personal accounts, which constitute a valuable historical record, are in danger of being lost forever as these individuals pass away. The legis- lature, therefore, has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to take steps to help encourage greater knowledge and appreciation of veterans, particularly in our schools. In this regard, many states have already enacted school-based programs honoring those who served in the military. The legislature now finds and declares that New York should make available to students, teachers and administrators in public and private schools a new resource that will encourage greater understanding and appreciation of the contrib- ution of veterans. S 2. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 353-a to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
