BILL NUMBER : S1678 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to school district and board of cooperative educational services employees convicted of certain crimes SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : This bill would add a new paragraph (i) to subdivision 1 of section 30 of the Public Officers Law. School employees would be deemed to be public officers for purposes described by paragraph (e) of such subdivision; that is, school employees, if convicted of a felony, would be subject to removal from their office. JUSTIFICATION : The Court of Appeals has described Public Officers Law section 30 (1) (e) as a statute which protects the public's right to rest assured that its officers are individuals of moral integrity in whom they may, without second thought, place their confidence and trust. Presently, prison guards, school board members, police officers, firefighters, attorneys, notaries public and building inspectors are treated as public officers under section 30(1)(e). The public should have the same protection against miscreant school employees who are held out as examples to, and often come into contact with, school children.
