Bill > A2499

Introduced Session

This bill establishes a hiring preference for Class Two special law enforcement officers who are seeking employment with a municipal law enforcement agency. Its provisions would apply to both civil service and non-civil service municipal law enforcement agencies that classify applicants for appointment. In addition, the provisions apply to initial appointments, but not to promotional appointments of persons who are already members of the law enforcement agency. Under current law, veterans and children of law enforcement officers killed in the lawful discharge of official duties are given a hiring preference when applying for a position with a municipal police department. This bill gives Class Two special law enforcement officers a hiring preference after that currently given to those two groups. It is the sponsor's intent that all hiring requirements be met prior to an applicant receiving this hiring preference.
