Bill > S06068

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law by requiring the president of the civil service commission to collect and report annual demographic data about individuals taking civil service examinations. Specifically, the bill mandates that starting in 2025, the commission must gather information on the race and ethnicity of all test-takers and prepare a comprehensive annual report detailing this data. The report must be published by November 30th each year, covering the previous state fiscal year, and must be delivered to both the governor and the legislature. Additionally, the report will be made publicly accessible through the department's website. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency and understanding of the demographic composition of civil service examination participants, which could help identify potential disparities or trends in government job application processes.
