BILL NUMBER: S6474

SPONSOR: JORDAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the military law, in relation to the issuance of a New
York State September Eleventh Service Medal

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the military law to establish the New York State
September Eleventh Service Medal who served in the military or national
guard and participated in the rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations at
Ground Zero. This section also provides for elements of the design as
well as for the presentation of such medal.

Section 2 amends Subdivision 4 of Section 247 of the Military Law to
include the New York State September Eleventh Service Medal in this
section, with the other state medals, that do not require the recipient
of such medals to have been a resident of the State of New York at the
time of his or her entry into the armed forces or organized militia.

Section 3 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

September 11th, 2001 will be remembered as one of the darkest days in
the history of the United States. Through that darkness, however, the
bravery of those who courageously responded to calls for assistance at
the World Trade Center shone through as a beacon for all Americans. The
selfless deeds of police, fire, and ambulance first responders on that
day have been well publicized and will be remembered forever, but on
that day and on the days after many individuals serving in the United
States Armed Forces or in the National Guard also played a key role.
These brave service members were there as the World Trade Center was
collapsing and they were there in the immediate days after, helping in
the rescue and cleanup of Ground Zero. Accordingly, New York State
should recognize the heroism of these brave service members by creating
a New York State September Eleventh Service Medal which will be used to
recognize the selflessness and willingness for sacrifice exemplified by
these American heroes.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be  determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred and twentieth day after it
shall become a law.
