Summary
This bill amends New York State's executive law to designate July 16th of each year as "Atomic and Nuclear Veterans Day," adding it to the state's official list of commemorative days. The designation honors military veterans who were exposed to radiation during atomic and nuclear weapons testing, nuclear facility operations, or related military service. By establishing this annual day of commemoration, New York joins efforts to recognize the sacrifices and health impacts experienced by service members who participated in nuclear operations, ensuring their service is formally acknowledged alongside other military commemorations already recognized by the state.
