NY S05733

Changes state reimbursement formula for local veterans' service agencies from 50% of approved expenditures (capped at $25,000-$30,000+ based on population) to 0.5% of the previous year's geographic distribution of Veterans Administration expenditures for each county

Removes population-based tiered caps that previously limited state payments to counties and cities based on whether population was above or below 100,000 residents

Updates gendered language in the veterans' services law, replacing "his or her" with "such director's" and "him or her" with "the state commissioner"

Maintains that county veterans' service agency costs remain a county charge and city veterans' service agency costs remain a city charge, with state providing supplemental funding
