Bill > S08281

This bill provides a specific exception to standard civil service law for Matthew Terpening, a resident of the town of Webb in Herkimer County, allowing him to take the competitive civil service examination for a police officer position despite potentially not meeting typical age or other standard requirements. If Terpening passes the examination with a qualifying score, he will be eligible to be placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time police officer with the town of Webb police department. Although the bill creates this special provision for Terpening, he will still be required to meet all other merit and fitness provisions of the civil service law that apply to full-time police officers. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing Terpening a unique opportunity to pursue a law enforcement career in his local community by waiving certain standard civil service entry restrictions.
