Bill > A10301

This bill, known as the "Nassau Future Protectors Act," amends the civil service law to provide special rights for participants of the Nassau County Law Enforcement Explorer program, which is defined as a youth training program for individuals aged fourteen to twenty focused on the purpose and objectives of the Nassau County Police Department and public safety. Specifically, it allows these explorers to receive additional points on competitive civil service examinations for original appointments within Nassau County. Those who served for at least four years as an explorer will receive five bonus points, while those who served for less than four years will receive two bonus points, with these credits being added to their final earned rating after they qualify in the examination. The bill also outlines the process for applying for these additional credits, the conditions under which they can be granted, and specific provisions regarding how these credits affect an explorer's standing on eligible lists and subsequent appointments, including circumstances where an appointment might be considered void if the explorer had previously benefited from these credits.
