Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to increasing civil service credits given to veterans currently returning from service

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York civil service law to increase additional points awarded to veterans in competitive examinations for civil service jobs, specifically for veterans who are honorably discharged on or after January 1, 2025. Under the new provisions, non-disabled veterans will receive 10 additional points in original appointment examinations and 5 additional points in promotion examinations, while disabled veterans will receive 15 additional points in original appointment examinations and 10 additional points in promotion examinations. These additional points are designed to provide veterans with an advantage in civil service job applications and promotions, recognizing their military service and potentially helping them transition into civilian government employment. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, and the enhanced point system will apply to veterans discharged from January 2025 onward.
