New York bill A04269 allows minors aged 6 to 16 to be excused from school to play "Taps" at military funerals.

New York bill A04269 amends the education law to excuse minors aged 6 to 16 from school if they are absent to play "Taps" at a military honors funeral for a deceased veteran. To be excused, the student must notify the school administration two days prior to the absence, providing the date, time, and location of the funeral. The school administration can waive the two-day notice requirement if the student did not receive two days' notice but must provide notice as soon as possible. The excused absence will be counted as attendance if the student completes missed school work.
