Bill > A08684

This bill creates a special provision that allows Jonathan Montalvo to be considered for employment as a full-time university police officer with the State University of New York (SUNY) police, despite potential age or other civil service restrictions that might normally prevent his application. Specifically, the bill authorizes Montalvo to be placed on the eligible employment list for such a position, but his placement is contingent upon his performance on a civil service examination. While the bill provides an exception to standard civil service law requirements, it emphasizes that Montalvo will still need to meet the standard merit and fitness provisions applicable to full-time university police officers. The legislation represents a targeted, individual-specific measure that provides Montalvo with an opportunity to compete for a SUNY police officer position by waiving certain typical barriers to entry, such as age limits. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
