They passed a year or two ago giving veterans priority when hiring for state jobs, anyway. The times we were hiring, I only saw a handful of veterans actually apply for our positions and qualify even with the edge, though, so I'm not sure how many are taking advantage of the law. Probably, they just didn't want to bust their asses as much as we were asking in my office for so little compensation. Also, the law requires specific paperwork that I hear is a pain in the ass to have sent to every potential employer in order to enjoy the advantage in hiring, so none of the veteran candidates I reviewed ever did.
