Bill > A04823

This bill amends the civil service law to allow the implementation of body cameras on police officers, notwithstanding any binding arbitration agreements between public employers and public employee organizations representing police officers. Specifically, the bill invalidates any agreements or arbitration awards that would authorize pay increases or expanded duty pay in recognition of the additional responsibilities associated with body-worn cameras. This change is intended to facilitate the implementation of body cameras on police officers without being subject to binding arbitration for related pay increases.
