Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to annual reports concerning veteran-owned small businesses
Purpose of bill
The purpose of this bill is to require the division of veterans' affairs to provide to eligible veterans information regarding veteran-owned business opportunities.
Summary of provisions
The division shall provide a pamphlet explaining how to start a veteran-owned business in the state. The division shall also describe procurement opportunities in the State and include this information annually in its weekly newsletter. The information must be posted all division offices under it's jurisdiction, be available at the three seminars sponsored by the division and be posted on the division's website. Information shall also be made available at New York State Small Business Development Centers, the New York state department of labor One-Stop Career Centers and New York Entrepreneurship Support Centers.
Justification
Veterans in New York State have been and continue to be vital to the small business enterprises in the State. New York State has done too little to assist veterans in playing a greater role in the economy by forming and expanding small business enterprises. Medical advances and new medical technologies have made it possible for service-disabled veterans to play a greater role in the formation and expansion of small business enterprises in New York State. New York State must provide additional assistance and support to veterans to better inform them on how to become an owner of small business and how to expand thereby enabling them to realize the American dream that they fought and protect. This bill is one step in the process.
