Bill > S07376

This bill provides a special exception to civil service law for Karol Hughes, a part-time police officer in the town/village of East Rochester. Specifically, the bill allows Hughes to take the competitive civil service examination for a full-time police officer position, despite potentially not meeting standard age or other requirements typically mandated by civil service regulations. The bill ensures that Hughes, who has been continuously employed as a part-time police officer in the department, can be considered for a full-time position based on her performance on the civil service exam. If she scores sufficiently on the examination, she will be eligible to be placed on the list of candidates for full-time police officer appointment. The bill also stipulates that Hughes will still be subject to the same merit and fitness standards that apply to other full-time police officers, and the provisions of the bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
