Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reinstatement of certain officers and employees who were dismissed from employment due to a COVID-19 vaccine requirement
AI Summary
This bill requires the reinstatement of New York City government employees who were previously dismissed from their jobs due to not complying with COVID-19 vaccine requirements. Specifically, the legislation mandates that officers, employees, retirees, vested members, and those terminated without a one-year return limit shall be restored to their former positions with the same salary, benefits, and seniority they held before their dismissal. The bill ensures that reinstated employees will also be exempt from any previous waivers of their civil service rights. This proposed legislation effectively reverses the employment actions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic related to vaccine mandates, providing a pathway for affected city workers to regain their previous employment status. The bill would amend the administrative code of New York City and is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
