Summary: Senate Bill S.3767 (2025) – Study on Veteran Student Campus Services at SUNY and CUNY

What the bill does

  • Requires the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) to examine and conduct a study on the availability of campus services, programs, and resources for veteran students.
  • The bill focuses on assessing how well SUNY and CUNY meet the needs of veteran students through existing supports and what gaps may exist.

Key provisions

  • Mandate for both SUNY and CUNY to conduct a comprehensive study of campus services, programs, and resources targeting veteran students.
  • The exact scope, methodology, timeline, and reporting requirements of the study are not provided in the available information; these details would be specified in the bill’s text as it advances.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiaries are veteran students enrolled in SUNY and CUNY institutions, who would be the focus of the study’s assessment.
  • SUNY and CUNY systems would be responsible for executing the study and, presumably, reporting findings to the Legislature.
  • Policy makers and campus administrators could use study results to inform improvements to veteran-related services.

Procedural status and timeline

  • Introduced: January 29, 2025.
  • Status: Referred to the Senate committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs.
  • Legislative Actions recorded on 2025-01-29 show the bill being referred to the same committee (two entries listed for the same date), indicating initial committee referral.
  • No funding, implementation timelines, or reporting deadlines are specified in the provided summary.

Sponsors and related legislation

  • Primary sponsor: James Sanders Jr.
  • Cosponsors include: Mario Mattera, Zellnor Myrie, Alexis Weik, Andrew Gounardes, Jake Ashby, Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., Steve Rhoads.
  • Related/complementary measures from prior sessions include S 7510, S 4680, S 2469, S 2291, and S 5241.
  • Companion measure: A 7927 (Assembly), indicating cross-chamber interest in the same policy objective.

Potential impact and implications

  • If enacted, the bill could yield a formal assessment of how effectively SUNY and CUNY support veteran students, identifying service gaps (e.g., counseling, academic accommodations, veteran-specific programs, and resource access).
  • Outcomes may inform improvements, budget requests, or policy changes at the university level and could influence broader state veterans’ education initiatives.
  • The absence of explicit funding or deadline information means concrete implementation steps would depend on later bill language and committee action.

How to monitor

  • Track S.3767’s progress in the Senate Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs Committee.
  • Look for a bill text to review specific study scope, methodology, deliverables, and any reporting requirements.
  • Monitor related bills (S.7510, S.4680, S.2469, S.2291, S.5241; A.7927 companion) for parallel language or adoption of similar provisions.
