AN  ACT  to amend the civil service law, in relation to establishing the
  qualifications of director of facilities of school  districts  by  the
  department of civil service

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 17 of the civil service law is amended by adding  a
new subdivision 5 to read as follows:
  5. ADMINISTRATION OF CERTAIN DIRECTOR OF FACILITY POSITIONS.  NOTWITH-
STANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF THIS SECTION, CHAPTER OR ANY PROVISIONS TO
THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN ANY  GENERAL,  SPECIAL,  OR  LOCAL  LAWS,  THE
DEPARTMENT  SHALL DEVELOP A STATEWIDE EXAM FOR THE POSITIONS OF DIRECTOR
OF FACILITIES I, II, & III IN SCHOOL  DISTRICTS  THROUGHOUT  THE  STATE.
SUCH  ADMINISTRATION SHALL INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELIGIBILITY CRITE-
RIA FOR EXAMINATION OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITIONS OF  DIREC-
TOR OF FACILITIES I, II, & III BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION FIFTY OF THIS CHAPTER.
  S  2. The civil service law is amended by adding a new section 17-a to
read as follows:
  S 17-A. PLACEMENT OF CERTAIN DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL FACILITY POSITIONS. 1.
THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS AND DECLARES THAT THE  CONTINUED,  UNINTER-
RUPTED,  ADEQUATE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF SCHOOL FACILITIES IS NECES-
SARY FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE; THAT SUCH ADEQUATE OPERATION
INVOLVES AND REQUIRES PERSONNEL WITH HIGHLY SPECIALIZED ABILITY,  SKILL,
TRAINING, AND KNOWLEDGE; THAT LOCAL CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONS MAY DECIDE
TO CLASSIFY SUCH POSITIONS WHERE THEY CONSTITUTE BONA FIDE CIVIL SERVICE
POSITIONS  AS EVIDENCED BY FACTORS INCLUDING ENHANCED PAY, BENEFITS, AND
DIGNITY OF POSITION; THAT WHILE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION HAS BEEN  DEEMED
PRACTICABLE FOR DIRECTORS OF SCHOOL FACILITIES, TO REQUIRE SUCH EXAMINA-
TION  FOR  VALID  APPOINTMENT  OF  CURRENT LONG-STANDING EMPLOYEES WOULD
IRREPARABLY DISORGANIZE CERTAIN SCHOOL FACILITY OPERATIONS, ENDANGER THE
SAFETY OF STUDENTS, AND INTERRUPT THE CONTINUITY AND EFFECTIVE  PERFORM-
ANCE OF IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL OPERATIONS.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
