Bill > A08732

This bill provides a special exemption for Matthew Terpening, a resident of the town of Webb in Herkimer County, to take the competitive civil service examination for a police officer position, despite potential age or other legal restrictions that might normally prevent him from doing so. Specifically, the bill allows Terpening to take the exam and potentially be placed on the eligible list for appointment as a full-time police officer with the town of Webb police department, contingent upon his performance on the examination. While granting this special consideration, the bill also stipulates that Terpening will still be subject to the standard merit and fitness provisions of the civil service law that apply to full-time police officers. The bill represents a unique legislative action that creates a narrow, personalized pathway for an individual to pursue a specific civil service position by temporarily suspending certain standard eligibility requirements.
