Bill > A07354

This bill provides a specific exception to standard civil service employment regulations for Franklynn Smith, a part-time police officer in the village of Perry, Wyoming County, New York. The legislation allows Smith to take a competitive civil service examination for a full-time police officer position, despite potential limitations in existing civil service laws that might otherwise prevent him from doing so. If Smith passes the examination, he would be eligible to be placed on the eligible list for a full-time police officer appointment in Perry. The bill ensures that while Smith is being given this special opportunity, he will still be subject to the same merit and fitness provisions of civil service law that apply to other full-time police officers. The legislation is specifically tailored to Smith's individual circumstances, providing him a pathway to potentially transition from a part-time to a full-time law enforcement role, and it takes effect immediately upon passage.
