Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, the military law, the retirement and social security law and the real property tax law, in relation to extending the date of the end of service in World War II until December 31, 1946
Purpose
To recognize and extend the service period allowed for merchant marines during World War II until December 31, 1946.
Summary of provisions
Changes the end date for service in World War II as a merchant marine to December 31, 1946.
Existing law
Current law provides that the service dates for merchant marines starts on December 7, 1941 and ends August 15, 1945.
Justification
Federal Law recognizes U.S. Merchant Marines who served prior to December 31, 1946 as World War II veterans. By amending New York law to include December 31, 1946 as the end date for service in World War II, state law would mirror federal law and provide full recognition of the important service that Merchant Marines provided during World War II.
Fiscal implications
Minimal.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
