From the office of Assemblyman Billy Jones 

Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) announced that a new law, which he helped pass so more veterans can gain access to benefits, is going into effect (Ch. 322 of 2018). The law ensures that veterans are given proper assistance and informed of the benefits they’re entitled to when dealing with state agencies.

“Veterans have made countless sacrifices to keep us and our country safe, and for that, we owe them indescribable gratitude,” Jones said. “We need to do everything we can to show the brave men and women who have served our nation how much they mean to us. North Country veterans shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get health benefits or information about the assistance they’ve earned.”

Jones supported the legislation as it moved through the Assembly last year. The new law requires state agencies and local governments to ask their customers whether they or a family member is a veteran to ensure more veterans learn about assistance and benefits available through the state Division of Veterans’ Affairs or local veterans’ service agencies. This information is kept private and is only used to inform the veteran of benefits and assistance they may not already be receiving.

Incident Rate Ties Lowest Annual Total in History, Past Six Years are Safest on Record

The 2018 hunting seasons in New York tallied the lowest number of recorded hunting-related shooting incidents (HRSIs) and tied the 2016 mark – 13 – as the safest on record, Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced today. DEC documented five tree stand incidents and zero fatalities in 2018, down from 12 tree stand incidents the previous year.

“The tradition of hunting is enjoyed by nearly 600,000 New Yorkers and visitors each year, and the declining number of hunting incidents prove that today’s generation of hunters continue to be the most safety conscious,” said Commissioner Seggos. “In large part, hunting in New York continues to be a safe and enjoyable activity thanks to the efforts of 2,600 DEC staff and volunteer hunter education program instructors that teach nearly 50,000 students each year.”

Of the 13 HRSIs that occurred last year, seven were two-party firearm incidents, six were self-inflicted, and three resulted in fatalities that could have been prevented if hunting safety rules and common sense were followed. Of the three fatalities, two were self-inflicted and caused by unsafe handling of firearms and one was a two-party firearm incident caused by a failure to positively identify the target. Hunting Safety Statistics (PDF) are available on the DEC website. Read more »
