New York S01040 requires SUNY and CUNY campuses to offer fitness and aquatic facility memberships to disabled veterans at no cost.
New York S01040 mandates that the State University of New York's board of trustees adopt a policy allowing disabled veterans to join fitness and aquatic facilities at the same terms as the general public, without fees. The bill defines "disabled veteran" as someone certified by the U.S. Veterans Administration or a military department for a service-related disability. Memberships are granted upon presentation of documentation confirming disabled veteran status. The policy applies to all SUNY and CUNY campuses offering such memberships to the public.
