Legislative Gazette

After nearly a decade-long fight, a bill that would facilitate the awarding of state contracts to disabled veterans passed the Senate and Assembly last week, all but guaranteeing the legislation will be signed into law once it is delivered to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's desk.

Cuomo, who gave the program his blessing in February, said it "will play a large part in our ongoing efforts to create new economic opportunities for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces."

The same bill passed both legislative houses in 2007 and 2009 but was vetoed by former Gov. David Paterson.
