This is what was reported and was shown to be true by Snopes. I know that is a pathetic left wing propaganda fact checker, but according to them....The Bill was about "Expanding the existing approval" not about ANY denial.
Concerns over budget costs were the issue, nowhere did the (D) suggest a denial to Gold Star Families, whereas trump took shots at a GOLD star family, strictly for their name.

New York lawmakers refused to advance a bill that would have provided free college tuition to the families of all military personnel from the state who were killed in the line of duty.
The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 to hold the bipartisan bill, effectively ending its chances of making it to a floor vote this session.
The move comes a week after lawmakers passed a $175 billion state budget that included $27 million to provide college tuition aid for undocumented immigrants.
Some Central New York lawmakers said it was outrageous to block a bill that would likely cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to help children of military members who died for their county.

Now, I read that. What are you reading? Other fact checkers have also acknowledged it as true.
