Bill > A02252

This bill creates a special provision allowing former full-time police officers of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) who were born between January 1, 1985, and January 1, 1990, to take the competitive civil service examination for the position of police officer, despite existing restrictions in civil service law. If these former officers pass the examination with a qualifying score, they will be eligible to be placed on the list for potential appointment as a full-time police officer in New York City. These individuals will still need to meet the standard merit and fitness requirements for police officers as outlined in existing civil service law and administrative codes. The bill appears designed to provide a pathway for recently separated police officers to potentially return to law enforcement service, with age and previous employment with the NYPD serving as key eligibility criteria. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing eligible former officers to pursue re-employment through this special examination process.
