Bill > S07044

This bill requires the commissioner of the Department of Civil Service to prepare a comprehensive report focusing on civil service titles that mandate licensure as a mental health practitioner under Article 163 of the Education Law. Specifically, the report must identify all such titles, describe their details, analyze their salary grades, and evaluate whether the current civil service titles and career paths are appropriate. The evaluation will consider factors like board certification requirements, job duties, and education and experience levels. The commissioner is allowed to develop this report in conjunction with other departmental reports and must submit it by December 31, 2027, to key state leadership, including the governor, senate and assembly leaders, and minority leaders. The bill aims to provide a detailed assessment of mental health practitioner-related civil service roles to ensure they are structured effectively and compensated fairly. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
