BILL NUMBER:S45 TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 18 of article 7 of the constitution, in relation to providing for payment of bonuses to members of the armed forces from this state for service during the period of the Korean war PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Provides for the creation of state debts to fund the payment of, and to pay, bonuses to members of the armed forces for Korea service. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The legislature would authorize the creation of a debt or debts to provide payment of a bonus to each member of the United States Armed Forces who served in the Korean Conflict (June 27, 1950-January 31, 1955). JUSTIFICATION: With the exception of a bonus for World War II Merchant Marine's enacted into law in 2007, the last time the State of New York offered a bonus was for veterans who served during World War II. It was granted by the Legislature in 1947 and approved by the voters the same year. As Thomas E. Dewey stated in his approval message: "We owe a real debt of gratitude of our veterans."
