An act in relation to authorizing a study on the feasi- bility of retaining the New York State Veterans Home at Oxford, New York

Purpose or General Idea of Bill: This bill would establish a moratorium on the demolition of the veterans home at Oxford, New York and author- izes a study on the feasibility of potential uses for such home

Therefore this legislation would place a moratorium on the destruction of the present Oxford Veterans Home and authorize the Department of Health to conduct a study on the feasibility of retaining the home.
