            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing an amendment to section 6 of article 5 of the constitution, in
  relation to veterans'  credits  for  civil  service  appointments  and
  promotions

  Section  1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 6 of arti-
cle 5 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
  S 6. Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the state and
all of the civil divisions thereof, including cities and villages, shall
be made according to merit and fitness to  be  ascertained,  as  far  as
practicable,  by  examination  which,  as  far  as practicable, shall be
competitive; provided, however, that any member of the armed  forces  of
the  United  States  who  served therein in time of war, and who, at the
time of such member's appointment or promotion, is a citizen or an alien
lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the  United  States  and  a
resident  of  this  state  and is honorably discharged or released under
honorable circumstances from such service, shall be entitled to  receive
[five]  TEN  points  additional  credit in a competitive examination for
original appointment and [two and one-half] FIVE points additional cred-
it in an examination for promotion or, if such member  was  disabled  in
the  actual  performance of duty in any war and his or her disability is
certified by the United States department of veterans affairs to  be  in
existence at the time of application for appointment or promotion, he or
she  shall be entitled to receive [ten] FIFTEEN points additional credit
in a competitive examination for original appointment and  [five]  SEVEN
AND  ONE-HALF  points additional credit in an examination for promotion.
Such additional credit shall be added to the final earned rating of such
member after he or she has qualified in  an  examination  and  shall  be
granted  only  at the time of establishment of an eligible list. No such
member shall receive the additional credit granted by this section after
he or she has received one  appointment,  either  original  entrance  or
promotion,  from  an  eligible  list  on which he or she was allowed the
additional credit granted by this section.
