Bill > A06148

This bill provides a special exception to Christopher Walser for taking the competitive civil service examination for a police officer position with the Skaneateles village police department. Specifically, the bill allows Walser to bypass typical civil service law restrictions, particularly age requirements outlined in Section 58 of the civil service law, and permits him to take the police officer examination. If Walser achieves a passing score on the exam, he will be eligible to be placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time police officer. While granting this special authorization, the bill also stipulates that Walser will still be subject to the standard merit and fitness provisions of civil service law that apply to full-time police officers. The bill takes effect immediately, providing Walser a unique opportunity to pursue employment as a police officer despite potentially not meeting standard initial qualifying criteria.
