Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C-Mohawk Valley and the Adirondacks) announced that Assembly Bill A.9476, which expands the Veterans Tuition Awards Program, has unanimously passed in the New York State Assembly.

“As a proud member of the Veterans Affairs Committee in the New York State Assembly and a Marine Corps veteran myself, I am very pleased to see this proposal pass in the Assembly with unanimous support,” said Smullen. “It is a simple, common-sense way to help support our veterans and their loved ones. I will continue to advocate for our hometown heroes and vote ‘yes’ on proposals like this one that show our veterans we care. Their service and sacrifice cannot be understated—veterans, we thank you.”
