ALBANY – Assemblyman Joseph Angelino (R,C,I-Norwich) voted in favor of a bill that would direct the Division of Veterans’ Services to provide information to veterans who are experiencing post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) (A.2203). The bill passed the Assembly and has been sent to the Senate for approval.

“Having served in two wars as a Marine, I have seen the demands serving in high-pressure and dangerous situations can have on those in the military. Anything our state can do to remove the stigma and increase awareness of post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries will help so many of our veterans in need,” said Angelino. “I look forward to supporting other legislation to support the many veterans in the state who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.”
