N.Y. Veterans' Services Law § 17: Local veterans' service committees

§ 17. Local veterans' service committees. The same authority which

appoints a local director shall appoint for each county and city

veterans' service agency a veterans' service committee to assist the

local director and shall appoint a chair thereof. Similar committees may

be appointed in each village and town where there is a deputy local

director by the mayor of such village and the supervisor of such town in

which the branch office of the deputy local director is located or in

which it operates. A similar committee may also be appointed in any city

in and for which there is not established a separate city veterans'

service agency, and in and for which there is a deputy local director

and a branch office of the county veterans' service agency; and such

appointment in any case shall be made by the city official authorized to

appoint a city director in the case of a separate city veterans' service

agency.
