Bill > A10167

This bill, titled the "Nassau Future Protectors Act," amends the Civil Service Law to provide additional credits to participants of the Nassau County law enforcement exploring program in competitive civil service examinations for original appointment in Nassau County. The bill defines the Nassau County law enforcement exploring program as a youth police training program that provides training on the purpose, mission, and objectives of the Nassau County Police Department, public safety, and law enforcement. Eligible explorers who have served for at least four years would receive an additional 5 points on their final exam score, while those who served for less than four years would receive an additional 2 points. The bill also outlines the process for explorers to apply for and receive these additional credits, as well as provisions related to the retention of explorers upon the abolition of positions.
